We’ve all been there: You pick up your phone to check one thing… and suddenly an hour is gone.
You tell yourself “I’ll cut back tomorrow.”
But tomorrow never comes. SCROLLAR WORKS - BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SHAME YOU
No guilt trips. No scary warnings. Just a simple idea: give your attention a daily budget — like money.
Spend it how you want, just a little more intentionally. YOUR DAILY SCREEN TIME GOAL
Start by setting a daily limit based on how you actually use your phone — not some unrealistic target. Every minute you save helps your Pixel Pig grow, evolving through 25 levels from a tiny piglet to a golden bank. CREATE YOUR APP GROUPS, YOUR WAY
Organize apps in a way that makes sense to you — social, streaming, gaming, or anything else. Each group gets its own shared daily budget, so you can be strict where it matters and flexible where it doesn’t. THREE WAYS TO BLOCK DISTRACTIONS
 1. Limit Blocking
Go over a group’s limit? Those apps lock until tomorrow.
You set the rules — Scrollar enforces them.
 2. Scheduled Blocking
Create boundaries that fit your life.
No social media during work. No scrolling before bed. Set it once and forget it.
 3. CEO Mode
Need to focus right now?
Start a session that blocks all your tracked apps until you’re done. No shortcuts. GENTLE NUDGES, NOT GUILT TRIPS
Get a heads-up right before you hit your limit. No pressure. No shame.
Just a moment to decide if you want to keep going. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
Clear, simple insights show your daily and weekly habits. Spot what’s taking your time, track your streaks, and watch your progress build. 100% PRIVATE
No accounts. No cloud. No tracking.
Everything stays on your device — exactly where it belongs. Scrollar doesn’t judge you.
It doesn’t try to control you. It just helps you notice — and makes it easier to put your phone down. Built for people who’ve tried Screen Time and gave up.
Built for people who want to scroll less, but don’t know how to start. Built for you. Terms of Use: https://ntudevelop.github.io/Scrollar/ Privacy Policy: https://ntudevelop.github.io/Scrollar/

Whether you’re trying to focus at work, study without distractions, or simply spend less time on your phone, KickIt makes it easy to put up the right barriers and actually stick to them. Terms & conditions: https://www.joinkickit.com/terms-and-conditions WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block apps — Add distracting apps to your blocklist.
