SelfBlock vs ScrollPal

Every blocker fails the same way: you turn it off. SelfBlock doesn't let you. When you try to open a blocked app, a friend gets the request — and they decide. No friend available? Ask the anonymous community instead. Someone always answers. ► BUDDY SYSTEM When you try to open a blocked app, your buddy gets a request. They set the time and decide for you. They can respond instantly from a notification or Apple Watch. ► COMMUNITY MODE Don't want to assign a friend? Get anonymous support from the community. A random user reviews your request. Your identity stays hidden. ► 5 BLOCKING MODES – Full Block: Completely prevent app access – Schedule: Auto-block during work, study, or sleep hours – Usage Limit: Set daily time limits per app – Open Limit: Control how many times you open an app – Solo Mode: Manage with your own willpower ► BLOCK ANY APP Block YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, X (Twitter), Facebook, Reddit, WhatsApp, Discord and any distracting app or website. ► LIVE FOCUS TRACKING – Daily focus moment counter and day streak – Weekly report with progress summary – Daily check-in to track your mood – Home screen widgets and Live Activity support ► APPLE WATCH Approve or reject requests from your wrist. Track focus stats right from your watch face. ► CUSTOM SHIELD THEMES Personalize your block screen with 6 themes and custom colors. ► STRICT MODE Prevent bypassing blocks with PIN code, wait timer, or time lock. Extra protection options: block app installs, deletions, and in-app purchases. ► PRIVACY FIRST SelfBlock uses Apple's Screen Time API (Family Controls). Your data stays on your device.

Meet ScrollPal — your phone's accountability pet. Tired of doomscrolling? Your cute Fennec lives in the app. Feed it berries. It thrives. Ignore it, and your apps lock down. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that steal your day — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, anything. Your Fennec starts at 100% energy each morning. Every minute you scroll those apps, your Fennec's energy drops. When it hits 25%, the apps lock. To unlock them? Do a task. Drink water. Journal. Pushups. Snap a photo of nature. Each task feeds your Fennec — and earns back your scroll time. WHY IT WORKS Other blockers say "stop." ScrollPal trades. A pushup for TikTok. A glass of water for Instagram. A clean room for YouTube. You don't have to delete your apps. You don't have to pretend you'll never scroll. You just have to earn it. YOUR FENNEC, YOUR PARTNER A cute desert fox that grows with your habits. It loses energy when you scroll. It celebrates when you take care of yourself. The harder you ignore it, the more it suffers. (You won't ignore it. Look at it.)
