You already know you spend too much time on your phone. Every screen time report tells you the same thing. But knowing isn't enough, you need a system. BeforeScroll locks your most addictive apps until you complete a real challenge. Your apps are earned, not given. HOW IT WORKS Pick which apps to lock, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, or anything that steals your time. Choose your challenge. Complete it. Your apps unlock. No override button. No "just five more minutes." You earn your screen time by doing something real first. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Walk to Unlock (available now) Set a daily step goal. Hit it, your apps open. Miss it, they stay locked. Every step counts, walk in the morning, scroll whenever. Pushups to Unlock (coming soon) Drop and do your reps before you scroll. Build strength and a screen time habit at the same time. Bible Reading to Unlock (coming soon) Read a passage first. Then scroll. Start every day with intention. Quiz to Unlock (coming soon) Answer geopolitics questions to earn your apps. Learn something before you mindlessly browse. WHY BEFORESCROLL IS DIFFERENT Most app blockers rely on willpower. You set a timer, then override it 10 minutes later. BeforeScroll doesn't let you cheat. Your apps stay locked until you complete your challenge. No snooze. No bypass. Just do the work. This isn't about quitting your phone. It's about earning it. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Choose exactly which apps to lock - Set your own challenge level (whatever pushes you) - Track your daily progress with a clean dashboard - Watch your streaks grow as the habit sticks - Credits last 24 hours, complete your challenge any time THE SCIENCE The average person spends 4+ hours a day on their phone. That's 60 full days a year staring at a screen. The best way to cut mindless scrolling isn't willpower, it's friction. BeforeScroll puts a real-world challenge between you and your apps. One habit replaces another. WHAT USERS SAY "I went from 6 hours of screen time to 2. Not because I was told to stop, because I had to earn it." "I actually look forward to my morning walk now.
