Quit porn. Reclaim your life. Scroll Block is the most advanced porn blocker on iOS — combining a Patent-Pending AI VPN Firewall with Apple Screen Time into one button. Block porn sites, filter explicit content, and shut down lust-bait social apps instantly, then rebuild the brain underneath the addiction.

KEY FEATURES: • One-Button Nuke: Block porn sites and trigger apps with a single tap. • Patent-Pending VPN Porn Blocker: Blocks millions of porn sites and explicit ad networks at the network level via a DNS-based split-tunnel VPN.

Scroll Block uses Apple's FamilyControls API to shut those side doors. • Live Activities & Dynamic Island: Track your clean session from the Lock Screen. • Emergency Pass: One temporary unblock every 7 days — friction, not frustration. • 30-Second Deactivation Friction: Turning the blocker off requires a mandatory breathing countdown — the wall that breaks the urge. • Recovery Roadmap: An 8-stage porn recovery journey with a 7-goal checklist for your dopamine reset. • Health Score: A 0–10 score and 12-week streak tracker built from your real Screen Time and blocker data. • Guided Meditations & Affirmations for Urges: AI-generated ambient sounds and urge-surfing sessions built for porn recovery.
