ScrollBreak

Features

ScrollBreak puts a mindful pause between you and your social apps. Before the feed opens, you go through a short friction flow — just enough to make it a conscious choice. ◎ The friction flow When you try to open a restricted app (Instagram, TikTok, X, etc.), ScrollBreak intercepts it. You're asked: "Why are you opening this?" Choose from: Boredom / Habit / Check notification / Research / Post Then type the reason to confirm, and wait out a short countdown. If you don't want to go through it — just tap "Actually, skip it" and the urge fades. ◎ Three restriction levels • Weak — 5-second wait / re-shields after 30 min • Normal — 15-second wait / re-shields after 10 min • Strong — 30-second wait / re-shields after 1–3 min Set the right level for each app based on how much you want to resist it. ◎ Game challenge (extension mode) After the countdown, a mini-game appears (number tap, mental math, odd-one-out). The harder the level, the harder the game. ◎ Insights Track your impulse count, avoidance rate, streaks, and the top reason you open each app. See the patterns — then decide if you really needed to scroll. ◎ Pro features • Add unlimited restricted apps (free tier: 1 app) • Remaining-time notifications before the shield re-activates 7-day free trial included with the annual plan. Free to download. Subscription available for Pro features. Terms of Use: https://scrollbreak.techraccoon.net/terms Privacy Policy: https://scrollbreak.techraccoon.net/privacy
