About

Scrollless

This app helps you break free from endless scrolling by requiring you to commit to a session length before opening blocked apps. Once your time is up, all selected apps lock together, preventing you from switching to another. It uses behavioral science principles to foster intentional usage and reduce screen time.

Highlights
  • Commit to session length before opening apps
  • Cross-app locking to prevent switching
  • 5-minute reset breaks
  • No surprise lockouts or daily caps
  • Built on behavioral science principles
  • Privacy-focused with no data collection

You open Instagram for "just a few minutes." Time flies, so you switch to YouTube. Then TikTok. Two hours gone. Again. Most screen time apps punish you for this. Scrollless empowers you to stop it before it starts. HOW SCROLLLESS IS DIFFERENT Before you open any blocked app, Scrollless asks one simple question: "How long do you want this session to be?" You commit upfront, like making a promise to yourself. When your time is up, all your selected apps lock together. No sneaking to another app. The loop stops. This is not another app blocker. It is a commitment device. WHY IT WORKS → Intentional sessions beat passive blocks. Choosing your time in advance activates commitment, a principle proven by behavioral science. → Cross-app locking stops the app-hopping loop. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok: they all lock together, so you can't just switch to the next one. → 5-minute reset breaks give your brain time to decide: do you actually want more scroll time, or did you just forget you were done? → No surprise lockouts. No daily caps. No fighting your own phone. THE RESULTS Many users report a significant reduction in their daily screen time. Not from willpower. From a smarter system. BUILT ON BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE Scrollless is grounded in habit formation research, decision fatigue studies, and commitment device theory. The same principles behind the most effective behavior change programs. PRIVACY FIRST No VPN. No accounts. No personal data collected by us. Blocking runs on your device using Apple's native Screen Time API. FREE TO USE Scrollless is free, supported by ads.

Keep the good parts of social media. Take back your time.
