AntiScroll is a screen time management app designed specifically to help you break free from the "infinite scroll" of short-form videos and social media. "I just lost an entire hour without realizing it." "I only meant to check it for a second…" Sound familiar? YouTube Shorts, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram — today's social media platforms use algorithms built on the latest neuroscience to keep you hooked and steal your time. AntiScroll is the app that rescues you from the short-form video trap and the social media rabbit hole. **Key Features** AntiScroll uses three powerful features to dramatically change the way you interact with short-form video apps. **1. Block Apps in Short Intervals** Choose the apps you want to limit and start a restriction. But here's the catch — you only get 3 minutes at a time. Want more? You'll need to extend your session. By keeping each window short, you'll never lose an hour without realizing it again. **2. Brain-Science-Based Extension Activities** Research shows that when you watch short-form videos, your prefrontal cortex is barely active — you're scrolling on autopilot, with almost no conscious thought. To break the cycle, you need to wake your brain back up. With AntiScroll, extending your usage time requires completing a quick mental activity. These small cognitive challenges snap you out of that mindless state every time. **3. Visual Usage Tracking** Your screen time on restricted apps is tracked precisely. Check your daily and weekly usage at a glance through easy-to-read charts. Watch your usage drop over time — use it to stay motivated and keep yourself on track! No other app combines all of these features. With AntiScroll, you can stop losing hours to short-form videos and start spending your time on what truly matters to you. Take back your time — download AntiScroll today and break free from social media addiction! **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy** Terms of Service: https://astonishing-mackerel-e21.notion.site/AntiScroll-2c40ca9b20b980be8cc8f874b324822b Privacy Policy: https://astonishing-mackerel-e21.notion.site/AntiScroll-2c40ca9b20b980f4a1d7eff3c3704bf4

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nudge at none against AntiScroll's shown. Nudge also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
