Scroll Block
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION* A Scroll Block SUBSCRIPTION is required to use and enjoy full access to features and content. If you choose a Scroll Block subscription, payment will be charged to your Apple Account after the free trial ends.

ScrollBreak

ScrollBreak locks the apps that hook you, then lets you earn them back with real exercise. Pick the apps that pull you in most. ScrollBreak keeps them locked by default, using Apple's Screen Time tools. To unlock them, do a set of push-ups or squats. Each set banks screen-time minutes you can spend on a timed session. There's no feed to scroll past it, no snooze button, and no way to talk yourself out of it โ just a straightforward trade: movement for minutes. How it works: - Choose the apps you want ScrollBreak to shield - Do push-ups or squats in front of your camera - ScrollBreak counts your reps on-device using Apple's Vision framework - Earned minutes go into your bank - Spend banked minutes to unlock a timed session in your shielded apps Your privacy: Rep counting happens entirely on your device. ScrollBreak never records, saves, or transmits video. Nothing about your workouts leaves your phone. Set your own earn rate during setup, track your banked minutes, and build a habit of moving before you scroll.
