DoomSafe is the ultimate digital wellbeing tool designed to cure doomscrolling. Total app blockers don't work because you still need to use your apps for messaging and essential tasks. DoomSafe gives you the perfect balance. Through smart local web filtering, DoomSafe lets you access your favorite social networks but automatically hides the infinite scroll, For You pages, and short videos (like Reels or Shorts), keeping the rest of the apps completely intact. KEY FEATURES: Essentials Intact Access Instagram, X, YouTube and Facebook. We remove recommendations, explore pages, ads, and short videos, leaving the posts from people you follow, Stories and your Direct Messages (DMs) fully operational. Dopamine-Reducing Filters Turn the interface to Grayscale or apply a Blue Light filter to make social media less stimulating for your brain. Session Limits Set strict timers for your visits. Once your time is up, DoomSafe helps you leave. Clean Home Screen Widgets Launch directly into your distraction-free apps right from your home screen. Family Mode (optional subscription) Set up DoomSafe for your whole family. Create a household, link your children's iPhones with a private code and give them quests to earn coins. Children spend coins on short, timed scroll sessions; parents approve quests, choose which apps are limited, set daily schedules and see each child's activity. Limits are applied with Apple's Screen Time technology (Family Controls). DoomSafe Family can be shared with your family using Family Sharing. Privacy by Design DoomSafe acts as a secure local wrapper. We do not track your keystrokes, save your cookies, or read your messages. The filtering happens on your device. In Family Mode, the household information needed to sync quests, coins and schedules between parent and child (such as the names you enter) is stored on DoomSafe's servers.

Take back control of your screen time — and help your kids do the same. Stop Scrolling puts real limits on the apps that eat your day. And now it goes further: you can set your child's daily app limit from your own iPhone. NEW — PARENTAL CONTROLS Set up your child's iPhone once, then manage their limits from yours. No more borrowing their phone every time you want to change something. • Set your child's daily app limit from your own iPhone • Turn website blocking on or off remotely • Lock their settings behind a parent PIN only you know • Link more than one child's phone • Sign in with Apple — your children are still there on any iPhone you sign in to, even after reinstalling HOW IT WORKS 1. On your child's iPhone, install Stop Scrolling while it's signed in to their Apple Account. Run the child setup: choose which apps to limit, set a daily limit, and create a parent PIN. 2. Their phone shows a 6-digit code. 3. On your iPhone, open More → Parental controls → My children, sign in, and enter that code. From then on, you change their daily limit from your own phone. FOR YOUR OWN SCREEN TIME • App Limits — pick the apps that distract you and set a daily time limit • Quick Block — block distracting apps right now, for as long as you choose • Nudge — get intercepted before a distracting app opens • Geofence — block apps automatically when you arrive somewhere • Squat & Push-Up Mode — earn your way back in with real movement • Analytics — see your blocking history and focus streaks PAY ONCE Premium unlocks with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. PARENTAL CONTROLS — WHAT YOU NEED • Your child's iPhone must be signed in to their own Apple Account, and that account must be a child in your Family Sharing group. • Setup runs on your child's phone and needs Screen Time permission. • Limit changes you make apply on your child's iPhone the next time the app runs there. • Parental controls are part of the one-time Premium unlock. Stop Scrolling uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to apply limits. It never sees which apps your child uses or what they do on their phone.
