Most of us spend more time on our phones than we'd like. Hyud is free to download and offers in-app purchases. Full access requires Hyud Pro, available through a paid subscription or a lifetime purchase. Hyud helps you take back control of your attention by making distractions harder to reach. Instead of relying on willpower every time you pick up your phone, Hyud lets you create an environment where focusing becomes the easier choice. Block distracting apps and websites when you need to concentrate. Set limits around the things that tend to consume too much of your time. Build routines that help you stay focused at work, while studying, at the gym, or whenever you want to be more intentional with your phone. Whether you're trying to stop endless scrolling, get more work done, study without interruptions, spend less time on social media, or simply become more aware of your habits, Hyud gives you the tools to create healthier boundaries with your screen. See statistics about how you use your phone and how much time you spend focused. Follow your progress over time, spot patterns in your behavior, and understand where your attention is actually going. Hyud is designed to work with you throughout the day. Blocking can happen automatically based on your routines, and when something is off-limits, Hyud helps keep that boundary in place. Personalize Hyud with themes, app icons, and blocking screens. Additional themes, premium app icons, and premium blocking screens require Hyud Pro, purchased separately. Built using Apple's official Screen Time APIs, Hyud works directly with iOS to help reduce distractions without complicated workarounds. Less scrolling. Fewer distractions. More time for what actually matters. Available in 18 languages. Also available on Mac. HYUD PRO - PAID FEATURES Hyud Pro unlocks additional saved blocking sessions, allowances, reusable blocks, and location-based Block Zones, along with premium customization options. These features require a paid subscription or lifetime purchase. Prices and available purchase options are shown in the app before purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.hyud.app/terms-of-service/ios

We’ve all been there: You pick up your phone to check one thing… and suddenly an hour is gone. You tell yourself “I’ll cut back tomorrow.” But tomorrow never comes. SCROLLAR WORKS - BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SHAME YOU No guilt trips. No scary warnings. Just a simple idea: give your attention a daily budget — like money. Spend it how you want, just a little more intentionally. YOUR DAILY SCREEN TIME GOAL Start by setting a daily limit based on how you actually use your phone — not some unrealistic target. Every minute you save helps your Pixel Pig grow, evolving through 25 levels from a tiny piglet to a golden bank. CREATE YOUR APP GROUPS, YOUR WAY Organize apps in a way that makes sense to you — social, streaming, gaming, or anything else. Each group gets its own shared daily budget, so you can be strict where it matters and flexible where it doesn’t. THREE WAYS TO BLOCK DISTRACTIONS 1. Limit Blocking Go over a group’s limit? Those apps lock until tomorrow. You set the rules — Scrollar enforces them. 2. Scheduled Blocking Create boundaries that fit your life. No social media during work. No scrolling before bed. Set it once and forget it. 3. CEO Mode Need to focus right now? Start a session that blocks all your tracked apps until you’re done. No shortcuts. GENTLE NUDGES, NOT GUILT TRIPS Get a heads-up right before you hit your limit. No pressure. No shame. Just a moment to decide if you want to keep going. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Clear, simple insights show your daily and weekly habits. Spot what’s taking your time, track your streaks, and watch your progress build. 100% PRIVATE No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Everything stays on your device — exactly where it belongs. Scrollar doesn’t judge you. It doesn’t try to control you. It just helps you notice — and makes it easier to put your phone down. Built for people who’ve tried Screen Time and gave up. Built for people who want to scroll less, but don’t know how to start. Built for you. Terms of Use: https://ntudevelop.github.io/Scrollar/ Privacy Policy: https://ntudevelop.github.io/Scrollar/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scrollar at none against Hyud's shown. Scrollar also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
