Apple already shows your screen time, and it keeps rising. A private dashboard doesn't change anything. Your friends do. Scrollscore turns your screen time into a score you post once a day. Your friends see it, you see theirs, and the lowest number wins. Daily check-ins, streaks, leaderboards, and group challenges make cutting back something you actually want to keep doing. Scroll less. Score more. A DAILY SCREEN-TIME CHECK-IN Post yesterday's screen time each day: your total, how you did against your goal, and which apps took the most. Watch the number drop as your habits change. STREAKS THAT MOTIVATE Post every day and your streak grows. Showing up is the win. Miss a day? Use a streak freeze or just pick back up. Goals are flexible and fit real life. A SOCIAL FEED WITH FRIENDS Follow friends, react to their days, and cheer the wins. When someone's watching, the phone goes down sooner. FRIEND LEADERBOARDS & CHALLENGES Lowest screen time takes the top spot. Weekly and monthly group challenges, including blind ones where standings stay hidden until the end. APP LIMITS, BLOCKING & DETOX MODE Set daily limits and blocks on the apps that pull you in, powered by Apple's Screen Time. Or take them away entirely with Detox Mode, for anywhere from a day to 90 days. Your usage data stays private on your device. INVITE FRIENDS, EARN FREEZES Share your invite code. When a friend joins and posts, you earn a streak freeze. ACCOUNTABILITY, ZERO SHAME Guilt doesn't last. Being seen does. Scrollscore is supportive, social, and built for long-term change. Get your time back, one day at a time. Scrollscore uses Apple's Screen Time features. Optional streak freezes via in-app purchase. Sign in with Apple or Google.
