  • Commit to session length before opening apps
  • Cross-app locking to prevent switching

You open Instagram for "just a few minutes." Time flies, so you switch to YouTube. Then TikTok. Two hours gone. Again. Most screen time apps punish you for this. Scrollless empowers you to stop it before it starts. HOW SCROLLLESS IS DIFFERENT Before you open any blocked app, Scrollless asks one simple question: "How long do you want this session to be?" You commit upfront, like making a promise to yourself. When your time is up, all your selected apps lock together. No sneaking to another app. The loop stops. This is not another app blocker. It is a commitment device. WHY IT WORKS → Intentional sessions beat passive blocks. Choosing your time in advance activates commitment, a principle proven by behavioral science. → Cross-app locking stops the app-hopping loop. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok: they all lock together, so you can't just switch to the next one. → 5-minute reset breaks give your brain time to decide: do you actually want more scroll time, or did you just forget you were done? → No surprise lockouts. No daily caps. No fighting your own phone. THE RESULTS Many users report a significant reduction in their daily screen time. Not from willpower. From a smarter system. BUILT ON BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE Scrollless is grounded in habit formation research, decision fatigue studies, and commitment device theory. The same principles behind the most effective behavior change programs. PRIVACY FIRST No VPN. No accounts. No personal data collected by us. Blocking runs on your device using Apple's native Screen Time API. FREE TO USE Scrollless is free, supported by ads.

Unfeed helps you step back from the apps and sites that pull you into the scroll. Pick the ones that hook you, and Unfeed shields them behind Screen Time, so a tired tap does not turn into two lost hours. Set focus windows for work or sleep and the shield raises itself, right on time. When you reach for a shielded app, a calm cooldown asks you to wait a beat first, so the choice stays yours. - Shield the apps, categories and sites that hook you - Schedule focus windows for work and sleep - A cooldown that gently resists the impulse - A counter for the time you win back It runs quietly in the background, with no account and no noise.
