ScrollLess is a screen time limit app that helps you stop doomscrolling — for real. Pick the apps that pull you in: social media, short videos, games, anything. Choose how much time you want to spend on them each day. When your time is up, ScrollLess locks them until tomorrow. HOW IT WORKS • Select the apps and categories you want to limit • Set a daily time limit that feels right • Get a heads-up a few minutes before you reach it • When time runs out, a lock screen stops the scroll 15 MORE MINUTES, ONLY WHEN IT MATTERS Life happens. From the lock screen you can take 15 more minutes, up to 3 times a day. Every break is a small pause to ask yourself: is this scroll really worth it? STRICT MODE For days with no excuses. While Strict Mode is on, tracking can't be turned off, your limit can't be raised and apps can't be removed until tomorrow. BUILT ON SCREEN TIME • Uses Apple's Screen Time framework on your iPhone • Your app usage data stays on your device • See today's usage and time left at a glance • Focus Mode timer for deep work • Turn off all tracking anytime (unless Strict Mode is on) ScrollLess Pro unlocks daily limits, the lock screen, extra-time breaks and Strict Mode. Scroll less. Live more.

Block Reels, Shorts, home feeds, recommendations, and other algorithmic traps - while keeping messages, search, profiles, posting, and the people you actually care about. Scrolless works in Safari, not a fake in-app browser. No subscription. Pay once, own it forever. Social media is useful. Algorithmic feeds are the problem. Scrolless removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling while preserving the parts you actually want to use. -- Feed Blocker -- Block addictive feeds entirely: Reddit’s front page, YouTube home, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, Twitter/X timelines, and more. Open specific posts, videos, profiles, searches, and messages when you need them. -- Feed Cleaner -- Some feeds are worth keeping. Feed Cleaner removes suggested posts, sponsored posts, recommendations, and other algorithmic clutter so you see more of what you actually chose to follow. -- The 12-Hour Rule -- Any change that loosens your blocking takes 12 hours to activate. Make your limits when you’re clear-headed - not when you’re bored and trying to scroll. -- Privacy -- Scrolless is 100% tracker free. We don't collect any data about you or your browsing habits, all your data stays on-device. No tracking, no ads, no account, no subscription. -- Why Scrolless is different -- • Works in Safari with your normal tabs, history, and autofill • Keeps DMs, search, profiles, posting, and useful links • Works across Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and more • Custom rules for sites you choose • No account, no tracking, no ads, no data leaving your device • One-time unlock. No subscription.
