## What is OffScroll?

Most screen time apps lock you out and leave you standing there. You see a block screen, close it, open the next app — and keep scrolling.

OffScroll doesn't just take the feed away. It puts what you actually meant to do in its place.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Set your limits
Pick single apps or whole categories and give them a daily limit. OffScroll builds on Apple Screen Time, so it really blocks — it doesn't just remind you.

2. Write down what's waiting
A plain list, no folders and no labels. Whatever is at the top is what matters most.

3. At your limit, you see that list
When the time is used up, the block screen shows your three most important tasks. One tap takes you straight there.

4. You can unlock — but you have to explain yourself
You can always get back into your apps. You just have to write down why. When the time runs out, OffScroll asks whether it was worth it.


WHAT SETS OFFSCROLL APART

The block screen isn't a dead end
Other apps say "time's up" and that's that. OffScroll puts your open list in the same spot. You don't just lose something — you get something back.

Unlocking costs you a sentence
No password, no forced waiting period, no wall to fight against. Just one question: why now? That's the difference between a decision and a reflex — and it's why you can look back and see where your time actually went.

Priority is simply the order
No categories, no priority levels, no stars, no points. What's at the top matters. Drag to reorder, that's it.

No leaderboards, no trophies
The app reports, it doesn't cheer. You see your numbers — not your rank next to strangers.

No account, no sign-up
Download it, open it, go. There is nothing to register and no email address to hand over.


EVERYTHING IT DOES

Limits and blocking
· Daily limits for single apps or whole categories
· Real blocking through Apple Screen Time, not just a notice
· Cap your daily exceptions: 1 to 10
· Choose how long an unlock lasts: 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes
· A follow-up question after every exception, asking whether it was worth it

To-dos
· A list where the order is the priority — drag to reorder
· The top three appear on the block screen
· Completed items are struck through and cleared at the next day change
· Swipe to pin

Overview
· A ring with your real screen time and your daily goal
· Weekly overview with per-day bars and a goal line
· "Time saved" — measured against your screen time before OffScroll
· A streak for every day you kept your limits
· Exceptions taken and tasks completed per day

Also
· Evening recap, Sunday weekly recap — both can be turned off
· Two colour worlds: Dark Blue or Black & Orange
· For iPhone and iPad


PRIVATE, BECAUSE NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE

OffScroll has no account, no sign-in, no server. Your limits, your to-dos and your usage data live on your iPhone only. Apple Screen Time doesn't even hand the app the names of the apps you block — we couldn't read them if we wanted to.


SUBSCRIPTION

OffScroll is free for 7 days. After that it's 8.99 €/month or 48.99 €/year. There is only one tier: everything is included, nothing is locked behind an upgrade. Cancel any time in your App Store account settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-07

Edit limits instead of recreating them: the name, the apps and the duration of an existing limit can now be changed after the fact. Tap the row or swipe it to the right.

Daily to-dos: tasks that repeat every day are back in your list, unchecked, the next morning.

Three views in the to-do list — All, Once, Daily. The switch does more than filter: it decides which kind of task the quick entry creates.

New tasks are created on a small sheet instead of an almost empty page.

The app icon assembles itself at launch.

Plus smaller improvements throughout.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

Bug fixes and improvements:

• Limits on app categories (e.g. Social Networking) can be used from the block screen again. The two buttons there did not respond before.

• The block screen now shows the name of your limit instead of the individual app — "Social Media" instead of "Snapchat".

• Without an active subscription your limits pause instead of continuing to block. They stay saved in full and take effect again as soon as a subscription is active.

• The block screen now always looks the same, even when no to-dos are open.

• Your apps are named correctly in the unlock flow and on the overview.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-27

No release notes.
