Stop doomscrolling. ScrollKeep shuts the apps you choose, TikTok, Instagram, Reels, Shorts, any feed, from morning until tonight with Apple's Screen Time shield, and counts every reach you don't open. No account. No ads. The sign, the door, the count and the cards are free; Plus is $19.99 a year, $4.99 a month, or $49.99 once. It is the Do Not Disturb sign you hang on your own door. Hang it in the morning and the apps you name, the feed, the shorts, bed scrolling, are shut until tonight. Reach for one and the sign is there: not now, or open it anyway for a few minutes. Every reach you don't open is a pencil mark on the sign. Take it down at night to close the day. THE SIGN A card on a brass knob. Drag it up to hang it; the door goes dark and a clock counts the hours. Drag it down at night. Under a locked pledge it stays up until tonight. THE DOOR ScrollKeep shields your chosen apps with Apple's Screen Time. Inside a shut app you see the same sign with your own reason on it and two choices: Not now, or Open anyway for five minutes. That pause is the best-evidenced thing in this whole category. In a 2023 study in PNAS of a pause like this one, 36% of attempted opens were abandoned and attempts fell 37% over six weeks (Grüning, Riedel and Lorenz-Spreen). THE COUNT The only number in the app is honest: reaches you didn't open, counted from what you did, not from a usage total. Hours shut today. A month at a glance. The hour the pull is strongest, and the hour you open most, so you know when to plan for. TONIGHT'S CARDS The thing to open instead. A finite deck of things worth knowing, printed on card stock, one per screen, dealt once a night from behind the sign. Twenty cards, then it ends, on purpose. Five of last night's come back as questions. Keep the ones you want. SIT A MOMENT When the pull is strong: a breath, a two-tap answer to what you were reaching for, and two minutes for your hands. THE CLOSE Take the sign down at night. Say whether the phone sleeps outside the bedroom, the hour that costs the most sleep. Tomorrow's pledge is the hang. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No analytics. Apple never tells ScrollKeep which apps you picked, and ScrollKeep never reads your usage history. Everything lives on your iPhone. SCROLLKEEP PLUS The sign, the door, the count, the cards and the SOS are free. Plus hangs the sign for you each morning, locks it until tonight, takes every vice, and keeps every month. Yearly with a free week, monthly, or once for life. ScrollKeep is a personal companion, not a medical device. If your phone use is hurting your sleep, work, or relationships and you can't change it alone, a doctor or therapist can help.
