## What is Descroll?

Block the apps that pull you away. Hold to block right now, or set a time block once and let it repeat every weekday.

Blocking is free. No account, no ads, no streaks.

Apps can also block the moment you arrive at the library, the gym or home, and come back when you leave.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps that pull you away.
2. Block now, on a schedule, or at a Place.
3. Apps come back when the block ends or when you leave.

BLOCK IN ONE HOLD
• Turn the dial from 5 minutes to all day, then hold to start
• Group apps into a collection and give it a daily limit
• Block websites by address too

DECIDE ONCE
• Time blocks: say it in one sentence, like "Block Social from 7 PM to 9 PM on weekdays." Two are free; more with Descroll+
• Location blocks: mark a spot on the map, and apps block when you arrive and come back when you leave. One Place is free; up to 20 with Descroll+
• Blocks that learn (Descroll+): Routine plans up to two blocks a day before the hours you usually reach for your phone

A BLOCK THAT HOLDS
Settings can't loosen a block while it runs. Apps come back when the block ends, when you leave the Place, or with an early unlock after a short wait (you pick 0 to 10 a week). Emergency always ends every block at once. There's no snooze.

WHEN IT PULLS
Reach for a blocked app and you get a calm block screen. If you still want in, Descroll asks what's pulling you and offers something that fits: save it for later, a minute face down, a short walk that opens just that one app, or a real thing to do instead.

SEE WHAT YOU GOT BACK
• Presence: one number built from your own days, with what shaped it
• Today's time back, reaches and blocks kept
• Your Screen Time stats
• After a block, say how it felt and what the time went to
• Detailed insights (Descroll+): every earlier day and week, with patterns and Places
Compared only with you. No rankings.

BLOCK WITH FRIENDS
Invite a friend to the same block. You each see who joined and who kept it. No feed, no chat, no leaderboard.

DAILY HABIT LESSONS (DESCROLL+)
A 30-day plan of short Learn and Do sessions in the Library tab. A missed day never resets it.

WORKS WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• A Control Center control and the Action button
• Start a block with your voice or in Shortcuts
• Focus filters and a Lock Screen countdown while a block runs
• Widgets and app icon colors (Descroll+)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Descroll never sends your location, Screen Time data, Health data or calendar anywhere; only a map search sends what you type and the area on the map to the map service. No account, no ads, no trackers. Block with friends shares a block's name and times, and each person's first name and whether they kept it, through the cloud account already on your phone.

HEALTH (OPTIONAL)
With your permission, Descroll reads sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, steps, workouts, time in daylight and mood from Health to work out Presence, and can save how a block felt and your breathing resets to Health.

FREE AND DESCROLL+
Free: Block now with any apps, websites, every way out, one collection with its daily limit, two time blocks, one Place, Block with friends, today's Presence and insights, and your Screen Time stats.
