You finally get a moment to yourself. ScrollDam helps keep it yours, blocking the apps that turn a little scrolling into an evening you never meant to spend on your phone. A few pages. An early night. A little time to feel like yourself again. You've done enough today. Let ScrollDam hold the line. Because you know how it starts. You pick up your phone to check one message. Forty minutes disappear, and you surface without a memory of what you saw. That's not weakness - it's apps built, on purpose, to keep you from letting go. You've tried Screen Time settings, maybe another blocker. Still, here you are - tired, but not giving up. ScrollDam won't talk down to you about willpower or pile on to whatever you're already feeling. You've carried enough of that on your own. What it will do is tell you the truth, gently - your real screen time, not the softer number you'd guess. Then hand you something stronger than willpower: a system that holds the line on the nights you're too tired to fight. FIND OUT WHERE YOU REALLY STAND Before anything else, ScrollDam asks you to guess your daily screen time, then shows you the real number next to it. That gap can be the moment it clicks: you can't change a habit you haven't had a chance to see clearly. TELL US WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR Better focus. Better sleep. Being present with the people in front of you. A calmer mind. Whatever pulled you here, ScrollDam builds your plan around that one thing. BLOCK YOUR WAY Start a block right now, set it to run on a schedule, or give yourself a daily time budget. Name your sessions whatever means something to you: "Sunday Reset," "Work Hours," "No Phone Before Bed." A gentle reminder before a scheduled block starts gives you a moment to wrap up. Small details, but it's yours. CHOOSE HOW HARD IT SHOULD BE TO QUIT Some days, a five-second breath before you open apps is enough to stop you. Other days it isn't. Set the resistance yourself: a short pause, a phrase you have to type to prove you mean it, or a completely locked session - no early exit, no bargaining with yourself at 1am. A REAL PAUSE, NOT A LOOPHOLE Something urgent comes up mid-block - it happens. When your chosen mode allows it, take a short pause instead of ending the session. Blocking resumes automatically when your pause is over. SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE Day, week, and month views of your screen time, your pickups, and exactly which apps are quietly eating your hours. No shame attached. Just the truth. WHO THIS IS REALLY FOR The person who sits down to work and the phone gets there first. The parent who realizes the walk to school, the bedtime story, almost slipped by unnoticed. The one whose mornings used to mean something quieter - a book, a prayer, silence - before a feed took that time. Anyone who misses sitting with a task or a conversation without a phone demanding attention. You didn't need another app to remind you that you have a problem with your phone. You needed one built to actually hold the dam. PRIVACY, HONESTLY We monitor and block the apps you choose - and that's the extent of it. We don't see what you're doing on your phone. Nothing about your activity ever leaves your device. Feel like yourself again. Your mornings, your evenings, every quiet hour in between - they never stopped being yours. ScrollDam just helps you keep them. Subscription Info: Prices depend on your country and are billed to your Apple ID once you confirm the purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your current period ends. You can manage or cancel it anytime from your iTunes account settings.
