MOST EFFECTIVE SCREEN TIME APP!

No Scroll is the reason why my screen time went from 8 hours a day to only 2 hours 🙌

I’ve tried a bunch of different screen time apps, but none of them were able to stop my doomscrolling. It adds just enough friction to stop doomscrolling while still allowing me to use my apps!

I’m so glad I found this app because I finally have more time for the things I care about instead of scrolling tiktoks.

Best app but crashes, amazing dev team

This is the best app to eliminate scrolling. The app helps with the problem without making apps completely unusable. They even listened to user suggestions and had the timeouts be app-specific, which was super helpful. My only issue is that it does crash from time to time, either permanently locking me out of my apps or failing to show the time-out screen thingy when I’ve scrolled too long. When that happens, I have to delete and redownload the app. After the most recent deletion, it’s now making me pay. I got the app when it was new and was supposed to have it free for a lifetime, but there was no way for the app to recognize me and I now do not have the benefit I was supposed to. I am unable to pay for the app, so I had to delete it. Despite its flaws, however, I do recommend it.

Please let us know at contact@getnoscroll.com! Regards, Andrew

Decreased screen time

I found myself on my phone less and less than more I use this app. Such a helpful way to be in the present moment and limit myself from such an addicting tool. Also found the customer service extremely helpful for navigating the app, they replied to my email almost instantly and helped me. I recommend this app to my friends and family so I suggest you give it a try!

Been using for a while, new issue

I have been using this app for a while, but am running into a new issue where schedules now appear to constantly be enforcing no use of an app even though the app clearly says it is outside of a scheduled period. Not sure why this started occurring but it is looking like the only way to use the apps is to uninstall no scroll until they fix this

Hi, Thanks for using No Scroll and your review! The issue you described shouldn’t be happening, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. Just to confirm - are you seeing that an app is locked from the Schedules feature or is it from App Limits? If it is from the Schedules feature, can you try to delete and re-create the schedule? We want to make things right and help you out - please email us at contact@getnoscroll.com Sorry again for the issue, and we look forward to helping you! Regards, Andrew

Payez maintenant et essayez ensuite

Je ne comprendrais jamais le concept de ce type d’application. Elle nous demande d’abord nos habitudes de scroll pour ensuite « analyser » nos données et aucune fonction n’est proposée sans payer.

Que propose concrètement l’appli ? On ne le sait pas, il faut faire un essai de 3 jours puis ne pas oublier de désactiver le paiement 2 jours plus tard pour le savoir.

Expliquez au moins ce que vous mettez concrètement en place pour l’utilisateur. Cela ne donne pas confiance.

Very helpful

My screen time on TikTok and Instagram has decreased significantly! The concept works for sure. Just some small super experience things I’d change. Like when unlocking, having different time limits option would be nice. I have it set to 30min but sometimes I just want to check something and now I’ve wasted a whole 30 minutes 😭 or maybe that’s part of being intentional with my app limits?

Hi, Thank you for using No Scroll and your review! It is great to hear your screen time has decreased and No Scroll is working for you. We pride ourselves on our unique approach to reducing screen time that adds just enough friction. You can change the unlock time limit options in the Session Limits Settings button (top right in the Session Limits tab). Is there anything else we can do to turn your 4 star review to 5 stars? 5 stars really help our small team grow! Please reach out at contact@getnoscroll.com if you have any other questions for feedback. Regards, Andrew

Actually pretty good

I was skeptical but it actually does do what it sets out to do. It doesn’t stop you from going on the apps or from scrolling completely but it does make you take a step back and think on if you want to do that and for someone who rly wants to stop scrolling it does work very well. Even the 5 minute cool down is helpful cuz you eventually forget you wanted to scroll and are already doing something else.

Cut my screen time in half!

I downloaded No Scroll because I used to doomscroll at night after a long day of work. This app helped solve my bad doomscrolling habit. It has different features that are effective at reducing my screen time. Definitely recommend downloading if you want to reclaim your time from social media!

Best app, but one suggestion

This app has been the only one that effectively helps my screen time. I’ve tried so many, and it always either made me pay or didn’t work in a way that was practical. No Scroll is fantastic! However, I have one suggestion—blocking multiple apps makes the app not as effective. When I run out of time on one app, I can easily switch to another. Time limits should start and end across all blocked apps, so I can’t set a 30 minute timer for Instagram after my time runs out on Pinterest, for example. Thanks for this app, it’s great!

Doesn’t Work

This app might be good, if it would allow me to actually schedule anything at all.

Immediate subscription sign up only

I know I need something like this but I’m done with subscriptions especially before I’m even allowed to look at the app. You count on people getting distracted to make sure you get a yearly fee even if they didn’t get to really try it. That’s today’s standard but it sucks.

It works!

Finally an app that does what it says. The first time I tried this app, it didn’t work for me but the developer listened to my feedback and this time around this app works exactly as I need it to. I feel like I’m in control of my time again. Thank you!

Favorite No Scrolling App!

Have been using this for months. Although I do not pay for the subscription, I have debated tbh. Overall, I love the timeout settings, difficulty of password to unlock, schedules, and overall experience.

I’ve tried a lot of methods and different apps. But this one has constantly worked and prevented me from doom scrolling! I’ve read more, found better habits to increase, and overall happier.

Thank you!

Strong blocking, but missing real accountability

This app does a good job enforcing Screen Time limits, but it falls short as an accountability tool.

Like most Screen Time apps, it relies on three mechanisms:
• app time limits
• unlocks / temporary access
• scheduled blocks

The problem is that following or breaking these rules isn’t meaningfully tracked. Users can:
• repeatedly use unlocks
• change limits or schedules after enforcement starts
• revoke Screen Time permissions and re-enable later

…without any persistent history or consequence inside the app. That makes it easy to undermine your own rules quietly, which defeats the purpose for serious users.

What would make this a 5-star app:
• an accountability history (unlock usage, schedule adherence, rule changes)
• logging Screen Time permission revocations/restores
• an integrity metric (did I keep my word or not)
• brief, optional reflection prompts at key moments (before unlocks, after rule changes)
• weekly summaries focused on accountability, not just usage minutes
• a place to define and revisit why you’re limiting apps, so behavior change is internal, not just enforced

Blocking alone changes behavior temporarily.
Accountability, integrity tracking, and reflection change it long-term.

If these additions were made, this would easily be a 5-star app.

Hi, Thanks for using No Scroll and your thoughtful review! It is great to hear from someone as passionate about the screen time space as we are. We pride ourselves in being the best screen time blocker, and we agree we can be a better accountability tool. I’d like to address some of the points you made about what users can currently do in No Scroll. “Repeatedly use unlocks”: We have a feature coming that will allow users to choose a max daily unlocks per app. Hopefully this can address your concern. “Change limits or schedules after enforcement starts”: We know this is an issue, but we want to balance adding friction to prevent bad habits and not being too restrictive. That’s why we added the “Require Code To Change Restricted Apps” settings for Session Limits and other random character inputs when making changes to limits/schedules. We can increase the character length for settings/changes that you think are “key moments.” Where do you think we should add these? “Revoke screen time permissions and re-enable”: I’m not sure if Apple allows us to know when a user has revoked screen time permissions due to privacy restrictions. We’ll take a look at this and think about how we can use this to help with accountability! Thanks for all the great ideas to help make No Scroll better and a 5 star app for you! I’ve added all your suggestions to our feature request board (https://noscroll.featurebase.app/). The features that stand out to me are an accountability history and weekly summaries focused on accountability. I’ll prioritize working on those! I think the way No Scroll does blocking does change behavior long term because my screen time has reduced significantly, and I have less urges to mindlessly open social media. I also agree that accountability, integrity tracking, and reflection does help change behavior long term. At the end of the day, we hope No Scroll is the tool that helps you change your behavior and identity. We’d love to hear your thoughts to help us make No Scroll better for you and others - please email us at contact@getnoscroll.com. Regards,  Andrew p.s. sorry for the slow reply. we were taking a break for the holidays!

The only app out there that prevents doom scrolling

If I could give this app 1million stars out of 10 I would I have tried lots of anti screen time apps but this is the only one I could find that actually prevents you from doom scrolling. All other apps stop you before you enter the app which is effectively useless. If you want to use your phone time to time (but not get stuck) I highly recommend. Also if you email with questions or suggestions the team is very responsive and super kind
