## What is Scroll Survival?

Scroll Survival turns focus time into a game you actually want to finish.

Scroll Survival rewards finishing, not just blocking. Complete a session and your village grows with new villagers and buildings. If you need to unlock early, complete a quick real-world challenge first. Stopping early never earns village progress.

HOW IT WORKS
- Pick the apps, app categories, and websites you want to block.
- Start a focus session, or set a recurring routine.
- Stay off your phone until the timer ends.
- Finish, and your village grows. Your streak lives on.

FEATURES
- Focus sessions: Choose 5, 15, 25, 45, 60, or 90 minutes and block your selected apps for the whole session.
- Scheduled routines: Set recurring blocking schedules for work, study, sleep, the gym, or wind down, with custom days and times.
- App and website blocking: Block social apps, video apps, games, websites, and more using Apple Screen Time. You decide what gets blocked.
- Grow your village: Every finished session adds villagers and unlocks new buildings in your cozy 3D world.
- Streaks: Protect a daily streak by completing at least one session each day.
- Unlock Challenge: Need to unlock early? Complete a quick real-world task first, like scanning an object, walking 100 steps, or doing a pose challenge.
- Progress and insights: Track your focused hours, sessions, and streaks over time.
