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.
