## What is cantscroll?

cantscroll is a focus tool built for developers and vibecoders who use ai coding agents.

while your agent is coding, it is common to pick up your phone and doomscroll. cantscroll pairs your mac and iphone so the moment a coding agent starts working, distracting apps are blocked on your phone instantly, and the moment your session ends, blocking lifts on its own.

— automatic detection for claude code, cursor, devin, codex, and antigravity etc.
— instant mac↔iphone sync over your local network (or apple's push system when you're on different networks)
— session analytics and a daily focus streak
— pause anytime mid-session for a quick break
— live activity on your lock screen or dynamic island shows the active session

cantscroll runs in the background on both devices and uses no more battery than a standard messaging app. all detection happens locally on your mac. no account, no tracking, no ads.

requires a paired mac running the cantscroll cli (one terminal command via homebrew).
