It is easy to lose track of time while scrolling. Stop Scrolling gives you a gentle moment to notice and choose what happens next. Select the apps you want to monitor and choose how long you want to use them before receiving a reminder. When that time is reached, Stop Scrolling sends a local notification. You can stop there or ask for another reminder later. KEY FEATURES • Choose what to monitor Review supported apps installed on your device, or use Apple’s Screen Time picker to select other apps, categories, or websites. • Set your first reminder Choose how long a selected app can be used before you receive a pause reminder. • Remind me again Not ready to stop? Schedule another reminder after the interval you choose. • Pause alerts for today Take a day off from reminders and resume them whenever you want. • See today’s history Review which selected apps triggered reminders and whether you chose to stop or be reminded again. There are no scores or judgments. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Stop Scrolling does not read another app’s screen, scrolling gestures, messages, photos, browsing history, or location. It uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks only to monitor the usage duration of items you explicitly select. Screen Time selections, reminder settings, and reminder history stay in the app’s local iOS App Group container and are never used for advertising. The app displays advertising. Advertising partners may process device identifiers, product interaction, advertising data, approximate location derived from network information, and diagnostics as described in the Privacy Policy. Tracking or personalized advertising is used only where permitted and, on iOS, only after any consent required by App Tracking Transparency. Contextual or non-personalized ads may still appear when tracking is not allowed. PERMISSIONS • Screen Time: monitors usage duration for items you select • Notifications: delivers reminders at your chosen time • Tracking, when requested: supports personalized advertising and ad measurement; optional and not required for the reminder features Stop Scrolling does not block selected apps. It helps you notice the moment and make your own choice.
