About Scolect
A free, open-source productivity tool built by the community, for the community.
Reclaiming Digital Autonomy
We live in an age of engineered distraction. Every app is designed to capture and monetize your attention.
Scolect exists as an alternative.
We believe that understanding your digital habits is a fundamental right, not a premium feature. That awareness should empower, not shame.
Our mission is simple: give everyone the tools to understand their digital life, make informed choices, and work with their brain's natural rhythms—not against them.
Born from Frustration
Scolect began as a personal project. I tried commercial screen time apps, but they were either too expensive, privacy-invasive, or treated me like a child to be controlled.
- Free, so anyone could use it
- Privacy-first, with local-only data
- Insightful, providing real analytics
- Respectful, of user autonomy
What started as a personal tool has grown into a full-featured productivity suite. Scolect proves that powerful tools can be built without surveillance.
Our Values
The principles that guide every line of code we write.
Privacy is Non-Negotiable
Your usage data reveals intimate details about your life. That's why Scolect stores everything locally on your device.
- No cloud servers
- No data collection
- No telemetry
Your data never leaves your computer.
Open Source Builds Trust
Closed-source productivity apps are black boxes. Scolect is fully open-source.
- Anyone can audit the code
- Community owned
Open-source isn't just a development model—it's an ethical commitment to transparency.
Accessibility for All
Productivity tools shouldn't be gatekept behind paywalls. Scolect will always be 100% free.
- No premium tiers
- No feature restrictions
Money will never be a barrier to digital wellness.
User Autonomy
You're an adult. You don't need an app to parent you. Scolect provides information and reminders—not restrictions.
The goal is awareness and intentionality, not control.
Community-Driven
Scolect isn't built by a corporation optimizing for profits. It's built by users, for users.
The roadmap reflects what users actually need, not what investors want to see.
