Your phone is designed to be hard to put down. Scrollwall puts a price on it. Pick the apps that take your time. Scrollwall blocks them. To open one, you spend focus coins — and the only way to get coins is to do something real first. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your distracting apps. TikTok, Instagram, whatever yours are. 2. Earn coins by focusing. Start a session for studying, reading, training, cooking, drawing — anything you actually want to spend time on. The clock runs, the coins add up. 3. Spend coins to unlock. Trade what you earned for minutes on the apps you blocked. When the time is up, the wall goes back up. That's the whole idea. Scrolling stops being free and starts being something you chose. YOUR PLAN There are no difficulty levels. You have two numbers of your own: how long you scroll, and how long you focus. They start near where your week actually is and step towards your goal one week at a time, rather than asking for all of it on day one. The Plan tab shows the week you are on, how each number has moved over the last 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and lets you change either one whenever you want. WHAT YOU GET · A real block, built on Apple's Screen Time, that holds even when you are determined · Focus sessions with a timer, from one minute to open-ended · A balance you can see at a glance, and a card that shows it · Coins that reset each morning, so the plan they pay for stays a daily one · A sleep friction window, where unlocking costs double, so late nights cost more than afternoons · Streaks for the days you show up · Live Activities, so a running session is on your lock screen and not forgotten WHO IT IS FOR People who have tried willpower and found it is not enough. Students who need to study. Anyone who has looked up from their phone and not known where the evening went. SCROLLWALL PREMIUM Scrollwall is a subscription. A free trial is available when you start, and after it ends, earning coins, logging what you did and unlocking your apps all need an active subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Scrollwall uses Apple's Screen Time API to block the apps you choose. It never sees what you do in them. — Terms of Use: https://cortemaderaapps.com/scrollwall/terms Privacy Policy: https://cortemaderaapps.com/scrollwall/privacy
