ScrollCat helps you set a real boundary before a quick check turns into another endless scroll session. Choose the apps, categories, or websites that steal your time, set one shared daily limit, and they’ll be blocked when time runs out. Other blockers give you a cold gray wall. You get a cat with an attitude. YOUR CAT SCROLLS WITH YOU Meet Scrolly, your digital twin. The more time you spend in your selected apps, the more energy Scrolly loses. Instead of hiding your screen time inside another chart, ScrollCat makes it impossible to ignore. You always see how much time you've used, how much is left, and how your scrolling is affecting your cat. BLOCK YOUR WAY • After Limit: use your selected apps normally until you hit your shared daily limit. • Instant Mode: keep distracting apps and websites blocked from the start. • Time Blocks: schedule blocking for work, study, bedtime, or whenever you need to lock in. THE CAT THAT BLOCKS BACK When ScrollCat blocks a distracting app, Scrolly does not leave you staring at a dead end. Scrolly suggests better ways to use the moment, such as a quick activity, a mindful reset, something productive, or a personalized video recommendation. Instead of opening the same feed again, you get a clear next step that helps you move on. SEE YOUR REAL NUMBERS • Current screen time and time remaining • One daily limit across your selected apps • Streaks, XP, and unlockable badges • App, category, and website blocking • Custom block screens with Scrolly • A cat that changes with your screen time No shame, just facts. So you actually know where your day goes. WITH SCROLLCAT PRO • Scheduled Time Blocks • Detailed analytics • App usage, daily averages, and pickups • Home Screen widgets • Productive alternatives in chat • Personalized video suggestions Scroll less. Touch grass. Let Scrolly handle the rest. ScrollCat uses Apple's Screen Time API to monitor and block the apps, categories, and websites you select. Your screen time data stays on your device. The app is free to start. Pro unlocks scheduled Time Blocks, detailed analytics, Home Screen widgets, productive alternatives, and personalized picks.
