ScrollGuard helps you cut down on mindless screen time so you can use social media to stay connected, without getting sucked into the endless feed. Instead of blocking entire sites or apps, ScrollGuard uses a Safari browser extension to hide the most addictive parts of social media websites: endless feeds, Reels, Stories, Explore pages and other attention traps. Because it filters content directly in the browser, you don’t have to lock yourself out of your accounts, rely on willpower, or delete anything. You keep the useful parts, without the constant pull to keep scrolling. You choose what to hide, so you can still get value from social media without getting trapped in the scroll. Features: Hide Reels, Stories, Explore and other addictive sections of popular social platforms Toggle each element on or off with simple switches Premium Features: Set unlimited custom filters Terms of Use: https://scrollguard.app/terms

Block Reels, Shorts, home feeds, recommendations, and other algorithmic traps - while keeping messages, search, profiles, posting, and the people you actually care about. Scrolless works in Safari, not a fake in-app browser. No subscription. Pay once, own it forever. Social media is useful. Algorithmic feeds are the problem. Scrolless removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling while preserving the parts you actually want to use. -- Feed Blocker -- Block addictive feeds entirely: Reddit’s front page, YouTube home, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, Twitter/X timelines, and more. Open specific posts, videos, profiles, searches, and messages when you need them. -- Feed Cleaner -- Some feeds are worth keeping. Feed Cleaner removes suggested posts, sponsored posts, recommendations, and other algorithmic clutter so you see more of what you actually chose to follow. -- The 12-Hour Rule -- Any change that loosens your blocking takes 12 hours to activate. Make your limits when you’re clear-headed - not when you’re bored and trying to scroll. -- Privacy -- Scrolless is 100% tracker free. We don't collect any data about you or your browsing habits, all your data stays on-device. No tracking, no ads, no account, no subscription. -- Why Scrolless is different -- • Works in Safari with your normal tabs, history, and autofill • Keeps DMs, search, profiles, posting, and useful links • Works across Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and more • Custom rules for sites you choose • No account, no tracking, no ads, no data leaving your device • One-time unlock. No subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrolless at 100% against ScrollGuard's 53%. Scrolless also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and device support (3 vs 1). ScrollGuard's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 8) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
