Scroll less, move more. Unscroll locks distracting apps and unlocks them when you move. A quick session of dancing, stretching or working out. No gym or equipment needed. The average person spends 4+ hours a day on their phone. Screen limits you can tap through don't work. Unscroll takes a different approach. Pair movement with screen time so you build a healthier habit naturally. It's based on the behavioral science principle of habit stacking: attach a new behavior to an existing one and it sticks. How it works • Choose which apps to lock • Move for 30 seconds. Dance, stretch, squats, jumping jacks and more • Unlock your apps and earn screen time Key features • Instant phone lock for distracting apps • Smart movement tracking. All processing happens on-device. No video leaves your phone, ever • Streaks to help you stay motivated Track your progress • Personal records for every movement • Weekly and monthly charts • View your progress over time • Level up as you stay consistent Unscroll is perfect for you if: • You spend hours on your phone and want to change that • You want to reclaim your time and build better habits • You want to move more but can't stay motivated • You need to focus for school or work • You have ADHD and struggle with reducing screen time Unscroll uses Apple's Screen Time API; all monitoring and blocking run entirely on your device. Your data never leaves your phone. Subscription: An Unscroll Pro subscription is required for full access to app locking features.
