Scroll Block helps you break reflexive scrolling by putting a real pause between you and the apps that pull you in. Choose the apps you want to block, then let Scroll Block interrupt the habit loop before you fall into another feed. When you want access back, earn a short intentional unlock with movement like steps or pushups. Use Scroll Block to: - Block distracting apps with Screen Time controls - Reduce doomscrolling, reels, shorts, and social media loops - Earn access back through movement instead of willpower - See which apps are taking the most time - Build a calmer phone routine without going fully offline Scroll Block is built for people who do not just want another timer. It gives you friction at the exact moment you are about to scroll, then turns that urge into a small reset.
