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

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scrollwall at 4.7 against AppTime's 3.3. Scrollwall also leads on ratings volume (148 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). AppTime's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scrollwall sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and AppTime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scrollwall holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrollwall has 148 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Scrollwall's written reviews are positive against 80% of AppTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scrollwall ships an update every 5 days, AppTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
