AntiScroll is a screen time app built for one problem: the endless scroll of short-form video and social feeds. "I only meant to look for a second — and an hour was gone." Sound familiar? YouTube Shorts, TikTok, X, Instagram. Their feeds are tuned to keep you there. AntiScroll gives you a way out. [What it does] Three features that change how you use short-form video. 1. Block apps in small slices Pick the apps you want to limit and start. (Up to 3 apps for free, as many as you want with Premium.) You get 3 minutes. Want more? Ask for an extension. Short limits are what stop "an hour was gone" from happening. 2. Extension activities grounded in brain science Research suggests the prefrontal cortex is barely engaged while you scroll short-form video — you keep going without really thinking. To stop, you have to wake that part back up. So an extension in AntiScroll costs you a small activity. Each one asks for just enough thought to break you out of autopilot. 3. See your usage Time spent in limited apps is counted precisely. Check today and this week at a glance in simple charts. Watch the numbers come down — useful for staying motivated, and for knowing where you actually stand. We don't think there's another app that does all three. With AntiScroll, short-form video stops taking the time you meant to spend on what matters to you. Start today, and get out of the short-form video loop.
