ScrollBump – Stop Doomscrolling, Take Control of Your Phone Do you find yourself endlessly scrolling through social media, news apps, or videos without realizing how much time has passed? Tired of relying on willpower alone to resist your phone? scrollBump is here to help. Unlike apps that just track usage or give reminders, scrollBump makes your phone doomscrollproof by adding short, intentional pauses that prevent mindless scrolling and help you reclaim focus. Reduce screen time, improve digital wellbeing, and build healthy phone habits—all without frustration or guilt. How ScrollBump Works ScrollBump inserts brief pauses that you can’t skip. These interruptions stop mindless scrolling and give your brain a chance to reset, helping you make conscious choices about your time. Over time, they retrain habits, reduce phone addiction, and encourage mindful, intentional usage. By turning habitual app use into a conscious choice, scrollBump helps you regain control over your time and mental clarity. Customizable Break Rules scrollBump adapts to your lifestyle. Create rules based on: • Time of day: Schedule breaks during work, study, or evening hours to stay focused and improve sleep. • Location: Reduce distractions in places like your office, bedroom, or during meals. • App-specific rules: Target the apps that take most of your attention while leaving essential apps accessible. Features for Digital Wellbeing • Flexible scheduling: Adjust break rules anytime to match your routines. • Minimalist interface: Non-intrusive design keeps the focus on intentional usage.

Your scrolling now has a battery. ScrollVolt is a screen time limit and app blocker that doesn't make you quit your phone. Pick the apps that steal your time – social media, short videos, games, whatever it is for you – and give them a scroll battery. Scroll and it drains. Put the phone down and it recharges. Simple. WHY HARD BLOCKING DOESN'T STICK Most blockers lock everything and hope for the best. A day later you turn them off. ScrollVolt gives you a budget instead: you still get to scroll, just not endlessly. Doomscrolling turns into a choice you make on purpose. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to limit 2. They share one scroll battery that drains while you use them 3. Drag the battery to unlock exactly as many minutes as you want 4. At zero, a calm shield replaces the feed until it recharges 5. Start a focus session to charge it 2x faster THE HALF CHALLENGE ScrollVolt doesn't ask you to go cold turkey. It lowers your daily limit by 5, 10 or 15 minutes a day until you scroll half as much as you do today. Small enough to stick, big enough to win back hours every week. FOCUS SESSIONS Lock in for a workout, study session or deep work. Every distracting app stays locked for the session, and your battery charges twice as fast while you're away. MEET VOLTY Volty is your little battery buddy. Full of energy when you take breaks, running low when you scroll too much. A friendly nudge, not a lecture. WHAT'S INSIDE • Scroll battery for any apps you choose • Drag-to-unlock minute picker • Calm shield screen when the battery is empty • Focus sessions with 2x charging • Half Challenge to cut screen time step by step • Live battery, daily chart and weekly scroll trend • A log of every scroll and focus session PRIVATE BY DESIGN ScrollVolt uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Apple only shares anonymous tokens for the apps you choose, everything runs on your iPhone, and there is no account, no tracking and no ads. Less doomscrolling, more life. Charge up. SUBSCRIPTION ScrollVolt Premium is a yearly auto-renewing subscription with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
