How many reels have you scrolled since birth?

Estimated short-video scrolls (~450/day from screen-time math). Share your hours and the baseline rescales — not app data.

Calculate on the home page

Enter your birth date on the home page — all 15 metrics are calculated together with a shareable summary.

Interesting numbers

  • ~2.5 hours / ~20 seconds ≈ 450 short videos per day. This is rough arithmetic.

  • Even if reels did not exist when you were born, the rate is applied from birth date. That anachronism is deliberate, within the estimate frame.

  • The estimated badge is permanent.

What this metric tells you

Reels scrolling is the newest and roughest estimate in digital life. Ever Since Birth assumes about 2.5 hours of average daily social media time and about 20 seconds per video. 2.5 hours = 9,000 seconds. 9,000 / 20 = 450. That multiplication is curious arithmetic, not field research.

The estimate badge stays because confidence is low. Years before short video existed still use the same rate—a deliberate simplification. The number is average rate times time, not your app history.

Country choice does not change this metric. On the home page it sits next to steps in the same group.

When sharing, avoid fake precision; the number is an honest estimate. Use the home calculator for all metrics together.

Deep dive

450 scrolls comes from assuming ~2.5 hours of screen time and ~20 seconds per short video. Platform, algorithm, and ads in between are not separated.

Years before short video existed are still multiplied by the same rate—a deliberate simplification, which is why the estimate badge stays. There is no claim of exact digital-wellness data—only a round multiplication for curiosity.

How are the short videos you scroll counted?

Average daily social media time (~2.5 hours) is divided by ~20 seconds per video to estimate ~450 scrolls per day. A screen-time survey directly changes this baseline.

Core formula

result = seconds lived × (daily rate ÷ 86,400)

86,400 is seconds in one day. The daily rate is divided by that to get a per-second pace; multiplied by seconds since birth it yields total accumulation.

Step by step

    Set up accumulation period

    Time from birth to the calculation moment in seconds.

  2. 02

    450 videos/day reference

    Daily scroll count is divided by seconds to assume a continuous rate.

  3. 03

    Scale with screen time

    Daily screen hours you report proportionally increase or decrease the 450 baseline.
