Frequently asked questions
What does the workout number mean?
It divides your entered scroll time by the workout-block length you choose. It is a time equivalent, not a claim that scrolling caused you to miss that many workouts.
What data does the Scroll-Time calculator use?
The calculator uses your inputs plus labeled assumptions for brisk-walk calories, reading speed, book length, and an 80-year life-expectancy horizon. The figures are illustrative and are not personalized fitness, medical, or behavior predictions.
Does the calculator predict what I would do instead of scrolling?
No. It only compares equal amounts of time. It cannot know whether you would exercise, read, learn, rest, work, or do something else.
Is the Scroll-Time calculator free?
Yes. It's a free, client-side calculator with no signup, account, or email required.
How is calculator data handled?
Calculations run in your browser and inputs may be saved in local storage. HabitUnlock also uses standard website analytics, but custom calculator events do not include your entered values. Shared links may contain values you choose to include. See the Privacy Policy.
