Stop Doomscrolling vs Focus Block

Putting your phone down is not about willpower. It is about the system you build around yourself. Unscrol stops distracting apps right when you go to open them, keeps your focus session live on the Lock Screen and breaks the day into small steps you can finish. The goal is not to give up your phone, but to run your own day. Lock and block apps The apps and categories you choose are blocked on your device through Apple's Screen Time. When you try to open one, a shield appears. Your app choices never leave your phone. Scheduled block routines Set routines for work, school, sleep or your own time windows. A routine keeps running even when Unscrol is closed. One daily limit Give the apps you choose one daily budget and a cap per session. A long session sends them on a short break; once the day's budget is spent, they stay locked until tomorrow. Reverse Algo Mode Pick the social feeds you open without thinking and choose how much to slow them: a little, a lot or almost to a stop. Those apps then load more slowly, through an on-device VPN profile that only touches the feeds you picked. Turn it off anytime. Reverse Algo Mode is part of Unscrol Pro and works on iPhone. Focus sessions Pick 25, 45 or 60 minutes. The countdown runs live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and stays honest even if you close the app. Streaks and milestones Watch your streak grow day by day and reach milestones along the way. A Streak Saver protects it on a day that slips. Challenges From a single deep focus block to a 30-day challenge. Run one challenge at a time for free, or up to five at once with Unscrol Pro. One-minute reset When your attention drifts: a short pause and one question, just long enough to break the scroll loop. Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets See your streak and today's progress right where you usually start scrolling. Apple Watch Check your streak, today's progress and your active challenges on your wrist, with complications for your watch face. Mood and attention Log how your day went and, over time, notice when and where you get distracted. For students, people working from home, anyone preparing for exams and anyone who wants their attention back. Unscrol is free to download.
