Delay vs ScrollToll

Turn your screen time into study time. Delay makes you answer practice questions on topics you want to learn before you can open distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Instead of setting aside more time to study, learning becomes a transparent layer integrated into something you already do every day. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Before opening a blocked app, Delay gives you a few quick practice questions. Answer them correctly to earn access. Every time you reach for a distracting app, you get another small repetition of something you actually want to learn. LEARN WHAT YOU WANT Choose exactly what you want to study. Whether you're learning a language, preparing for an exam, memorizing important concepts, or building knowledge in a new subject, Delay turns your material into questions you can practice throughout the day. LEARN THROUGH REPETITION Delay integrates learning into moments that would otherwise be spent scrolling. Instead of relying on long study sessions, you repeatedly encounter your material throughout the day. Over time, those small repetitions add up. END THE DOOMSCROLL Your apps automatically lock again after your earned screen time expires. If you want to keep scrolling, you study again. This creates a simple cycle: learn, unlock, scroll, repeat. IMPORT YOUR STUDY MATERIAL Bring the material you already want to learn into Delay and turn it into practice questions. Keep different subjects organized and choose what you want to practice when unlocking your apps. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See how much you've practiced, how consistently you're answering questions, and how your knowledge improves over time. The screen time you would have spent scrolling becomes measurable learning progress. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Delay works directly with your apps so studying becomes part of your normal routine. Once it's set up, simply use your phone as usual. When you try to open a blocked app, Delay gives you your questions, you answer them, and you're right back in. MAKE SCREEN TIME USEFUL You’re already going to open your favorite apps throughout the day. Delay simply puts learning in between. Instead of finding more time to study, use the time and habits you already have. DOWNLOAD DELAY Delay requires a subscription to access certain features.

Every time you reach for Instagram, ScrollToll asks one question first. Get it right and you scroll. Miss it and it comes back later. You're studying — without choosing to. **BUILT ON DISTRIBUTED RECALL™** The same spaced-repetition science behind every serious study tool (Cepeda et al., 2006), delivered where you actually pick up your phone. Cards you struggle with surface more often. Cards you've mastered get out of your way. You don't have to remember to open the app — you already do, 96 times a day. **ANKI ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU OPEN ANKI** We work because you open your phone. Move to China and you'll learn Chinese without trying — you can't help it. ScrollToll does the same thing for the MCAT (and SAT, USMLE prep, mental math, vocabulary, chess, and any topic you want to learn passively). **HOW IT WORKS** 1. Pick the apps that waste your time 2. ScrollToll locks them behind a single question 3. Solve it — usually an MCAT question, mental math problem, chess tactic, or vocabulary card 4. Get 5 minutes, then it relocks automatically 5. Every unlock IS a study session — distributed across your real day **WHO IT'S FOR** - Premeds prepping for the MCAT who want discipline they can't fake - Med students grinding USMLE Step 1 - Students who open Instagram "for a second" and lose an evening - Professionals who lose hours to their phone during deep work - Anyone who's tried Anki, fallen off, and wants the spacing without the discipline tax **THE MATH** The average person unlocks their phone 96 times per day. ScrollToll turns 50+ of those into deliberate, spaced-practice moments. In a month, you've passively practiced over 1,400 questions — without ever sitting down with a textbook. **REAL BLOCKING, NOT A SUGGESTION** ScrollToll uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps at the OS level. No overlay you can swipe away. No "are you sure?" button. When an app is locked, it's locked — until you earn your way in. - OS-level blocking — can't be bypassed or dismissed - Distributed Recall™ — adaptive spaced repetition built into every unlock - Auto-relock after 5 minutes — no honor system - MCAT, USMLE, mental math, chess, vocabulary, and custom packs - 3 difficulty levels — beginner to advanced - Works with any app — social media, news, dating apps - On-device puzzle delivery — your usage stays private ScrollToll doesn't ask you to quit your phone. It asks you to earn it. Download free. Upgrade for advanced packs, Distributed Recall™ across all topics, and unlimited app blocking.
