Most app blockers let you make exceptions. Nope. doesn't. The apps you choose are blocked. Always. If you want to open them, you unlock consciously pick a few minutes, use the app, and it's automatically blocked again when the time runs out. That pause is the whole point. ####### HOW IT WORKS 1. Select the apps or categories you want to block 2. They stay blocked around the clock 3. When you need access, open Nope and unlock for 1–7 minutes 4. After the timer runs out, your apps are automatically re-blocked No exceptions. No "just this once." No willpower required after setup. ####### TRACK YOUR PATTERNS Every unlock is logged. Over time you see exactly how often and how long you reached for your phone, by day, week, and month. Awareness is the first step. The numbers don't lie. ####### PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. No account. No tracking. No servers. Nope. uses Apple's Screen Time framework, your app choices are never readable by anyone, including the developer. ####### THE PHILOSOPHY Most screen time apps work with schedules, timers, and loopholes. Nope. takes a different approach: friction. Not a wall, just a pause big enough to make the choice conscious. Open your apps because you want to. Not because your thumb already did it. β€’ Works with any app or app category β€’ Unlock duration: 1–7 minutes β€’ Full usage statistics β€’ No account required β€’ No data collected β€’ Made in Germany Privacy Policy: https://deskrest.app/privacy-policy/ Terms (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Pause the scroll, not the connection. StopScroll blocks TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram on your child's phone. Set up in 5 minutes directly within the phone's native Screen Time systemβ€”not a loose filter that can be easily bypassed. WHY IT MATTERS Studies show a massive increase in screen time among youth, with many spending over 4 hours daily on their devices. At the same time, a large majority of teens experience uncomfortable or inappropriate content online. StopScroll gives you a concrete tool to set healthy boundaries while you figure out what works best for your family. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Choose which apps to block – e.g., TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. β€’ Set a schedule – e.g., block access from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM. β€’ Select specific days – e.g., allow free access on weekends. β€’ Create a Master PIN – a secure code only parents know, required to change settings. β€’ Grant temporary "bonus time" – easily provide access outside the agreed schedule when needed. BUILT TO LAST StopScroll uses Apple's built-in Screen Time technology (Family Controls). The block is enforced directly by the phone's operating system, and the app cannot be deleted by the child while protection is active. It is deep and secure parental control. From the same team behind SpilPause.dk. SUBSCRIPTION StopScroll Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. β€’ Price: 5.99 USD/month, after a 7-day free trial. β€’ Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. β€’ Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. β€’ Manage your subscription by going to Settings β†’ [your name] β†’ Subscriptions.
