Friend Controls vs Joyscroll

Friend Controls is the screen time app that actually works. Set your daily limits, and when time runs out, your real friends decide if you get more. No algorithms. No willpower tricks. Just real social accountability. Unlike every other screen time app you have tried, Friend Controls puts your friends in charge. The result? Users reduce screen time by an average of 60%. HOW IT WORKS 1. Download and choose which apps you want to limit. 2. Set your daily screen time for each app. 3. Invite friends to be your buddies. 4. When your time runs out, the app locks. Want more? Send a request to your friends. 5. Your friends see your request and decide: approve or deny. No mercy required. That is it. Simple, social, and surprisingly effective. KEY FEATURES App Blocking That Works: Choose any app on your phone to restrict. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, dating apps, or anything else draining your hours.

Make your case. Accept their judgment. Usage Tracking: See exactly how much time you spend on each app. Daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns so you can track your progress.

We only monitor time spent so your friends can help you stay on track. WHO IS THIS FOR? Students who need to focus during exam season. Couples who want to spend less time on their phones together. Friends who want to hold each other accountable. Anyone who has tried every screen time app and failed. People who know they waste hours every day but cannot stop on their own.

Use social media without getting lost in it. Joyscroll helps you keep up with the accounts you care about without getting pulled into the endless scrolling of traditional social media feeds. Instead of jumping between multiple social apps and getting drawn into algorithmic recommendations, Joyscroll lets you build a focused feed around the people, creators, communities, and accounts you actually want to follow. YOUR FEED. YOUR CHOICES. Choose the accounts that matter to you and catch up on their latest content in one place. No algorithm deciding what should keep you watching. No endless stream of recommended posts. Just the content you chose to see. And unlike traditional social feeds, Joyscroll is designed to have an end. Once you've caught up, you can reach the bottom of your feed and move on with your day. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Joyscroll also helps you create boundaries around the social apps that tend to pull you back into scrolling. Create blocking rules that fit your routine. You can: • Block distracting apps during certain hours • Keep selected apps blocked throughout the day • Add friction before unlocking them • Use stricter rules when you need stronger boundaries • Protect your work, study, evenings, or sleep from distractions You decide which apps to block, when to block them, and how difficult they should be to unlock. LESS SCROLLING. NOTHING IMPORTANT MISSED. You shouldn't have to choose between deleting social media entirely and spending hours scrolling through it. There are friends you want to hear from, creators whose work you enjoy, communities you care about, and accounts worth following. Joyscroll is built around a different idea: You don't need less of what you love. You need less of everything else. WITH JOYSCROLL, YOU CAN: • Follow the accounts that matter to you • Bring the content you care about into one focused feed • Spend less time jumping between social apps • Reduce exposure to algorithmic recommendation feeds • Block distracting social media apps • Set schedules and boundaries around when you use them • Add friction before opening blocked apps • Build healthier, more intentional digital habits • Spend less time scrolling without disconnecting from what matters Joyscroll isn't about giving up your phone or deleting everything you enjoy. It's about taking back control of how you use social media. Keep what matters. Block the rest.
