Finally a Screen-Blocking App That Actually Works ScrollGate is the only screen-blocking app that doesn’t lie to you. Other blockers let you override your limits with a single tap. ScrollGate doesn’t. If you want access to a blocked app, you must watch an ad first. That friction is enough to stop most impulse scrolling. And when it isn’t, at least you’re choosing it intentionally. Does this sound familiar? You open your Screen Time and see 8, 9, 10 hours a day. You scroll for an hour, sometimes two, and afterward you can’t remember a single post you just saw. It feels like time just… disappears. It’s not your fault Social media apps aren’t neutral tools. They’re engineered to remove friction and bypass conscious thought. Companies spend millions hiring top researchers to design: - Endless feeds with no stopping points - Gamified rewards and variable dopamine hits - Interfaces optimized to keep you scrolling, not thinking That’s not a fair fight for your brain. So if you feel “addicted,” it’s not a lack of discipline. It’s not your fault. It’s a system doing exactly what it was designed to do. But you can counteract it Distraction thrives on zero friction. ScrollGate adds just enough friction to make you think. When you try to open a blocked app, ScrollToll forces you to watch an ad first. That pause breaks the automatic behavior — and most of the time, that’s enough to make you stop. If you’re sick of wasting time scrolling… If you’ve tried blockers that are easy to ignore If “Remind Me in 15 Minutes” always turns into an hour ScrollGate is for you.
