Read full description

ScrollLess is a screen time limit app that helps you stop doomscrolling โ€” 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 โ€ข Select the apps and categories you want to limit โ€ข Set a daily time limit that feels right โ€ข Get a heads-up a few minutes before you reach it โ€ข 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 โ€ข Uses Apple's Screen Time framework on your iPhone โ€ข Your app usage data stays on your device โ€ข See today's usage and time left at a glance โ€ข Focus Mode timer for deep work โ€ข 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.

Not everyone responds well to app blockers. For many people, hard limits feel frustrating, easy to ignore, or difficult to stick to. Hourfall takes a different approach. Instead of locking you out, Hourfall helps you build awareness in the moment. By showing your app usage live while you are actively using it, it becomes easier to notice when a quick check is turning into wasted time and make a conscious choice to stop. Track app usage live See your active app time in real time, right when it matters most. That immediate feedback makes it easier to notice when a quick check is turning into a long scroll. Switch into focus fast When you are ready to stop, start a built-in focus session and move directly into deep work, study, or uninterrupted time. See wasted time vs. saved time Your dashboard gives you a simple view of how much time was lost to distraction and how much time you intentionally protected for focus. Review your habits over time Explore daily and weekly stats to spot patterns, identify your biggest distractions, and measure your progress. Stay aware from your Home Screen Use widgets and quick actions for faster access to your stats, sessions, and daily progress. Fits your routine Customize time boundaries and session behavior so tracking works the way your day actually works. Private by design Your usage data stays on your device. Hourfall processes tracking locally, so your personal habits stay private. Whether you want to reduce doomscrolling, study with fewer interruptions, or build stronger focus habits, Hourfall helps you notice more, scroll less, and use your time with more intention.
