BetterScreens vs Scrollar

Social apps are designed to keep you scrolling. BetterScreens makes it easier to stop doomscrolling and cut your screen time — even if timers and blockers haven't worked for you. The longer you scroll, the longer the next post takes to load. Each Micro Pause interrupts autopilot, so putting your phone down stops feeling like a fight with yourself. You keep every app you already have. Blockers and timers ask you to fight the urge. BetterScreens makes the feed itself less rewarding, so you stop on your own. Once your plan is calibrated, reaching your daily goal pauses supported feeds until the next day, so the session has a real ending. BetterScreens requires an auto-renewing subscription. Eligible accounts start with a 14-day free trial. NO WILLPOWER BATTLES - No timers to start or sessions to schedule. - Keep every app on your phone. - Works quietly in the background. Nothing to open or start. HOW IT WORKS - Adaptive Micro Pauses. New feed content takes a little longer to load as a session stretches on, and eases off after you take a break. - Works inside the feeds that pull you in most, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, X, Reddit, Snapchat, and Twitch. - A daily goal built around you. BetterScreens starts from your own estimate, then calibrates to how you scroll. - A clear daily stopping point. After calibration, supported feeds pause when you reach your daily goal and resume after the next daily reset. - A 5% weekly taper. Your daily goal edges down each week instead of dropping all at once. - Progress you can see. Daily usage, goal progress, trends, and streaks for supported social and video feeds. - Pause when you need to. Turn Micro Pauses off briefly and they return on their own. WHAT PEOPLE SAY “I was astonished by how quickly I wanted to put my phone down during the tiny pauses. It didn’t take willpower — scrolling just stopped being satisfying.” — Brandi N. “It stops you from scrolling on autopilot and makes you more mindful — and because the change is gradual, it’s the kind that actually sticks.” — Debbie S.

We’ve all been there: You pick up your phone to check one thing… and suddenly an hour is gone.
You tell yourself “I’ll cut back tomorrow.”
But tomorrow never comes. SCROLLAR WORKS - BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SHAME YOU
No guilt trips. No scary warnings. Just a simple idea: give your attention a daily budget — like money.
Spend it how you want, just a little more intentionally. YOUR DAILY SCREEN TIME GOAL
Start by setting a daily limit based on how you actually use your phone — not some unrealistic target. Every minute you save helps your Pixel Pig grow, evolving through 25 levels from a tiny piglet to a golden bank. CREATE YOUR APP GROUPS, YOUR WAY
Organize apps in a way that makes sense to you — social, streaming, gaming, or anything else. Each group gets its own shared daily budget, so you can be strict where it matters and flexible where it doesn’t. THREE WAYS TO BLOCK DISTRACTIONS
 1. Limit Blocking
Go over a group’s limit? Those apps lock until tomorrow.
You set the rules — Scrollar enforces them.
 2. Scheduled Blocking
Create boundaries that fit your life.
No social media during work. No scrolling before bed. Set it once and forget it.
 3. CEO Mode
Need to focus right now?
Start a session that blocks all your tracked apps until you’re done. No shortcuts. GENTLE NUDGES, NOT GUILT TRIPS
Get a heads-up right before you hit your limit. No pressure. No shame.
Just a moment to decide if you want to keep going. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
