Take back control of your screen time — and help your kids do the same. Stop Scrolling puts real limits on the apps that eat your day. And now it goes further: you can set your child's daily app limit from your own iPhone. NEW — PARENTAL CONTROLS Set up your child's iPhone once, then manage their limits from yours. No more borrowing their phone every time you want to change something. • Set your child's daily app limit from your own iPhone • Turn website blocking on or off remotely • Lock their settings behind a parent PIN only you know • Link more than one child's phone • Sign in with Apple — your children are still there on any iPhone you sign in to, even after reinstalling HOW IT WORKS 1. On your child's iPhone, install Stop Scrolling while it's signed in to their Apple Account. Run the child setup: choose which apps to limit, set a daily limit, and create a parent PIN. 2. Their phone shows a 6-digit code. 3. On your iPhone, open More → Parental controls → My children, sign in, and enter that code. From then on, you change their daily limit from your own phone. FOR YOUR OWN SCREEN TIME • App Limits — pick the apps that distract you and set a daily time limit • Quick Block — block distracting apps right now, for as long as you choose • Nudge — get intercepted before a distracting app opens • Geofence — block apps automatically when you arrive somewhere • Squat & Push-Up Mode — earn your way back in with real movement • Analytics — see your blocking history and focus streaks PAY ONCE Premium unlocks with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. PARENTAL CONTROLS — WHAT YOU NEED • Your child's iPhone must be signed in to their own Apple Account, and that account must be a child in your Family Sharing group. • Setup runs on your child's phone and needs Screen Time permission. • Limit changes you make apply on your child's iPhone the next time the app runs there. • Parental controls are part of the one-time Premium unlock. Stop Scrolling uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to apply limits. It never sees which apps your child uses or what they do on their phone.

Stop scrolling in bed. Solys is the app blocker that starts when your alarm rings: the apps you choose stay paused, so the first minutes of your day belong to you, not your feeds. You know the pattern. The alarm goes off, you reach for your phone, and one quick check turns into half an hour of doomscrolling. Solys breaks that loop right where it starts. MAKE MORNINGS YOURS • Set your alarm and choose the apps you want to pause: social media or any other app. • When the alarm rings, they stay paused for 30, 45, or 60 minutes. You pick the length. • Add an optional evening curfew so the same apps rest at night, too. • Set a daily intention and see your protected mornings in a weekly view. • Use the in-app emergency unlock when you truly need access. WHO IT’S FOR Anyone who wants to stop doomscrolling, cut down on screen time in bed, or start each day with a dopamine detox, without deleting a single app. HOW IT WORKS Solys uses Apple’s Screen Time permission to pause the apps you select. Apps you do not select remain available. Blocking depends on the permissions you grant on your iPhone. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE In Settings, you decide whether Solys shares usage statistics. SUBSCRIPTION An active subscription is required after the demo. The price, billing period, any eligible trial, and first payment date are shown before purchase. Apple handles payment. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
