Everything you need to know about embarrassing yourself into better habits.
🚀 Getting Started
Installing Fartscroll is easy:
- Chrome/Edge/Brave: Visit the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome"
- Firefox: Visit the Firefox Add-ons page and click "Add to Firefox"
After installation, click the Fartscroll icon in your browser toolbar to configure your settings.
Fartscroll monitors short-form video content on:
- TikTok
- YouTube Shorts
- Instagram Reels
- Reddit (video posts)
- Twitter/X (videos)
- Facebook Reels
You can enable or disable specific sites in the extension settings.
Fartscroll offers three modes:
- Manual: Set an exact number of videos before the fart triggers (e.g., every 10 videos)
- Roulette: Random surprise timing within a range (5-20 videos) - you never know when it's coming!
- AI Dynamic: Adapts to your behavior with Gentle, Moderate, or Aggressive intensity settings
When the fart triggers:
- Your webcam captures a 4-second reaction video
- The video is composited with Fartscroll branding and effects
- You can preview, download, or share the video instantly
Important: Video recording is optional and all processing happens locally on your device. We never see your videos.

🔒 Privacy & Security
No. We only count the number of videos you scroll past - we don't track:
- What videos you watch
- Your browsing history
- Any content from social media
See our Privacy Policy for full details.
100% on your device. Reaction videos are:
- Recorded locally by your browser
- Processed entirely on your computer
- Never uploaded to our servers
- Only shared if YOU choose to share them
We literally cannot see your videos - that's by design.
Fartscroll requests these permissions:
- Access to specific sites: To detect video scrolling on supported platforms
- Storage: To save your settings locally
- Notifications: For optional alerts (can be disabled)
- Camera (optional): Only for reaction video recording
We request the minimum permissions needed for functionality.
