QuitScroll is the screen time app that doesn't sugarcoat it. System-level blocking, shame screens, and guilt-trip tasks for people who've tried everything else and still can't stop doomscrolling. NO GENTLE NUDGES. NO KIND REMINDERS. Most screen time apps show you a number and hope you care. QuitScroll makes you feel something. When you try to open a blocked app, you're hit with a brutal shame screen. There's a 10-second countdown if you want to unlock it - guilt-trip messages the entire time. If you crack, your streak resets to zero. Permanently logged. This is the strict app blocker for people who know they have a problem and want real consequences, not a virtual tree. KEY FEATURES - System-Level Blocking - Real iOS shields at the OS level. No workarounds. No cheating. - Shame Screens - Brutal messages when you try to open a blocked app. Time-of-day aware. - 10-Second Countdown - Try to unlock? Wait while it guilt-trips you. Every. Single. Time. - Streak Tracking - Consecutive clean days, displayed prominently. Breaking it hurts. - Daily Allowance - Set your limit.

Find out which days you're weakest. - Custom Shame Messages (Premium) - Write your own. Then get hit by them. Painful. Effective. - Commit to Block - Lock your settings for 1-4 hours.

You scroll for hours. You know it. You hate it. You've tried screen time limits, app blockers โ€” nothing sticks. Because restriction alone doesn't work. You need something to earn. EarnScroll makes you earn every minute of scroll. Complete real tasks โ€” workout, read, meditate, journal โ€” and earn screen time to unlock your apps. No tasks done? No scroll. This is not another app blocker. This is a forge. A discipline system for people done with brain rot and ready to take control. โ—† EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Other apps just block. EarnScroll makes you earn it. Pick daily tasks during onboarding. Each task earns you minutes that stack on a free daily allowance. When you want to scroll, slide to unlock โ€” iOS monitors usage and re-locks when your budget runs out. You don't lose your phone. You earn the right to scroll. โ—† DOOM SCROLL BLOCK โ€” THE FORGE WAY Every app blocker looks the same โ€” clean, minimal, forgettable. EarnScroll is different. Dark medieval forge aesthetic. Crossed swords. Rank badges. Hammer strikes. This is a scroll block forged in discipline. When your app looks like a forge, you feel like a warrior โ€” not a patient. You're not restricted. You're tested. โ—† BRAIN ROT STOPS HERE Brain rot is real. Hours of mindless scrolling, doom scrolling through reels and feeds โ€” it rewires your attention. EarnScroll is the brainrot antidote. Every time you want to scroll, you face a choice: earn it or don't. You start doing more and scrolling less. Not because the app blocked you, but because you earned something better. โ—† 12 RANKS OF DISCIPLINE Be present every day and level up through 12 ranks: Scroller โ†’ Starter โ†’ Committed โ†’ Focused โ†’ Disciplined โ†’ Consistent โ†’ Driven โ†’ Relentless โ†’ Elite โ†’ Master โ†’ Legend โ†’ Ascended Each rank unlocks earn multipliers and higher stakes. Miss a day? You lose streak days. Ascended loses 14 days per miss. No participation trophies. You earn your rank or you fall. Rank-up celebrations with stoic quotes. Shareable achievement cards. Your discipline war record. โ—† REAL TASKS, NOT CHECKBOXES โ€ข Water โ€” animated glass filling counter โ€ข Meditation โ€” countdown timer with rain, forest, singing bowls โ€ข Journal โ€” built-in editor, 200-char minimum, browsable history โ€ข Workout โ€” session timer with auto-logged stats โ€ข Reading โ€” book search, page tracking, session logging โ€ข Steps โ€” HealthKit sync, auto-completes at your goal Each task earns scroll time through real effort. โ—† AI GOAL GENERATION Describe your goal in plain text. AI generates 4-6 daily tasks with earn rates. "Get fit," "be more present," "limit screen time to one hour" โ€” the AI builds your forge plan. โ—† LIMIT SCREEN TIME WITH CONSEQUENCES Set a daily allowance โ€” 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Beyond that, earn every minute. Time runs out, apps lock. No snooze button. The scroll block is real. Dynamic Island shows remaining time. Lock Screen widget tracks your balance. โ—† STREAK SYSTEM One freeze token per month. That's it. Miss a day and your streak takes a hit. This isn't a digital wellbeing nudge โ€” this is discipline with consequences. โ—† WHO THIS IS FOR You watch discipline content on Instagram... while doom scrolling for three hours. You don't need another app blocker or screen time limit you'll ignore. You need to earn your scroll. Tried everything โ€” deleting apps, app blockers, digital detox? EarnScroll doesn't just block. It makes you earn. Earning changes behavior. โ—† FREE VS PRO Free: 10 tasks, 1 project, 1 shielded app. Pro: Unlimited everything. AI tasks. Book tracking. HealthKit. Full forge. Stop the doom scroll. Block the brain rot. Earn your screen time. Be present. The forge awaits.
