Stop doomscrolling. Start coding. DevScroll locks your distracting apps until you make a GitHub commit. A productivity app built specifically for developers who want to build consistent coding habits. HOW IT WORKS Connect your GitHub username and select the apps you want to lock. DevScroll monitors your contribution graph and keeps those apps blocked until you've pushed code. Make a commit, and your apps unlock automatically. KEY FEATURES • GitHub-Powered Unlocking - Your commits unlock your apps. Push code to regain access. • Smart App Locking - Block specific apps, categories, or websites using Apple's Screen Time API. • Private Repo Support - Private contributions count too. Just enter your GitHub username. • Streak Calendar - View your coding consistency with a monthly contribution calendar. • Daily Reset - Apps lock again at midnight to encourage daily coding habits.
