Meet Dopa — the little monster living in your screen. Every time you open an app out of habit and scroll without thinking, Dopa grows a little bigger. Unscroll is the calm, playful way to shrink it: block the apps that hook you, run real focus sessions, and slowly win your attention back. No shame. No lectures. Just a friendlier relationship with your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block distracting apps — pick the apps that steal your time and lock them. Add friction so opening them takes real, deliberate effort. • Focus sessions — start a timer, put the phone down, and watch the monster shrink. Turn on Hard Mode when you want zero escape routes. • Focus schedules — set "study" or "sleep" windows so distractions stay locked without relying on willpower. • See where your time goes — a clear picture of your screen time, your most-used apps, and how each day stacks up against your goal. • Streaks and badges — hit your daily goal, keep your streak alive, and unlock badges as your focus habit grows. • Exam Mode — heading into a big study stretch? Lock things down even harder until the day you choose. BUILT TO BE USED LESS, NOT MORE Unscroll isn't another app fighting for your attention. It's quiet, honest, and on your side — designed to give your time back to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your usage, block list, and focus history are stored on your device. UNSCROLL PREMIUM Go further with Premium: • Unlimited blocked apps • Stronger friction and Hard Mode • Exam Mode • Detailed weekly analytics and trends Choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Cancel anytime. Your screen-time monster grows a little with every mindless scroll. Download Unscroll and start shrinking it today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unscroll at none against VidGuard's 1. VidGuard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
