Scrollless vs PomoGem

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.

Turn focused time into colorful gems. Study and work time becomes visible progress. Earned gems stay when you take a day off. The app is in English and Japanese. Support is currently provided in Japanese. CHOOSE A THEME AND START Choose a theme and a free 25-, 45-, 60-, or 90-minute timer. Finish a session and a gem drops into your jar with sound and haptic feedback. Each completed minute becomes 10 grams: 25 minutes adds 250 grams. • Custom themes for study and work • A tactile jar that responds to taps, tilt, and gentle shaking • Ten gems combine into a larger crystal • Weekly and lifetime views, milestones, and manual records separate from timed focus • Weight Journey shows your next milestone and compares your total with the approximate weights of familiar objects • Focus and break-end alarms with a choice of sound and strength • Images and short GIFs for sharing eligible records, always with PomoGem branding and its official website • Home and Lock Screen widgets that start a focus without displaying your records OPTIONAL SCREEN TIME GEMS Choose learning apps and a theme. Each confirmed 10 minutes of combined use adds a 100-gram gem. Select up to five learning apps for free, or unlimited apps with Pro. This uses OS threshold notifications, so delivery can be delayed. Partial periods under 10 minutes are not added, and learning-app monitoring pauses while a focus timer runs. You can also choose apps you want to use less. Each combined 10 minutes adds a black obstacle gem. This selection is unlimited for everyone. Black gems combine only with black gems; they do not count toward study time, study mass, rewards, or sharing, and never subtract earned study gems. The same app cannot belong to both selections. You choose whether to authorize and enable recording. POMOGEM PRO A one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase unlocks custom timers from 1 minute 00 seconds to 360 minutes 00 seconds, month stamps on crystals, and unlimited learning apps for Screen Time recording. Enter minutes and seconds or use scroll wheels. Update both devices before handing off timers set with seconds. No subscription, trial, or automatic renewal. The purchase screen shows your App Store price. YOUR STORAGE CHOICE At first launch, choose private iCloud sync or this iPhone only. Device-only mode works without an Apple Account or network and never uploads automatically. If you confirm iCloud, theme names, achievement notes, records, settings, and the active timer use your Apple Account's private CloudKit storage. Initial loading and resuming sync require online checks. An eligible, previously verified local copy can be used offline in iCloud mode; changes wait on this iPhone for sync. Verified account changes or conflicting history can block access to protect data. Reopening the app may be required. A connection check does not prove all records have uploaded. Settings lets you enable iCloud using its data to replace device-only records, or disable it by copying verified data to this iPhone while retaining iCloud data. In iCloud mode, you may also preview the cloud contents and explicitly confirm replacing this device's data, including unsent changes. Histories are not merged. Replacing all iCloud data with device data remains unavailable. Transfers require a connection and restarts as instructed. Do not uninstall during a transfer. Uninstalling loses device-only records and unsent changes. Exported JSON cannot be reimported for restoration or migration. Screen Time app selections, pending thresholds, and black gems stay on this iPhone and are excluded from JSON export and storage transfers. Imported learning records follow your chosen storage, including private iCloud sync, but are excluded from shared images, GIFs, captions, and JSON export. Unverified summaries are excluded from sharing and export. Diagnostics stay on-device without app tokens or gem counts. No advertising, tracking, analytics SDK, or developer server.
