Stop the reflex before it becomes another lost hour. Unscroll is a Screen Time app blocker built for the moment when intention is weakest: the instant you reach for a distracting app, website, or category without really deciding to. Choose what pulls you in, start Focus, and create a deliberate pause between the urge and the scroll. The goal is not guilt or an unrealistic promise. It is practical friction that gives you another chance to choose. USE UNSCROLL TO β€’ Block social media, short-form video, news, games, and other distractions you select β€’ Run Focus sessions for work, study, sleep, reading, meals, or time with people β€’ Protect chosen apps, categories, and websites with Apple Screen Time β€’ Save reusable Routines so frequent sessions take fewer steps β€’ Build replacement Habits with selected days and reminder times β€’ Review protected time, completed sessions, streaks, and milestones in Journey β€’ Explore private Daily Insights and seven-day Screen Time views A SHIELD AT THE RIGHT MOMENT The standard Shield introduces a 10-second pause before you decide again. That small interruption can break an automatic loop without pretending that willpower is unlimited. When you want a stronger boundary, Hard Mode provides a full 60-second intervention, making an impulsive override less immediate. You remain in control of what you protect and when a session begins. FOCUS THAT FITS REAL LIFE Create a session for the next task or save a Routine you can return to. Use different protected selections for deep work, study, bedtime, mornings, creative time, or a quiet weekend. Set the duration that makes sense now. Unscroll is useful for a short reset as well as a longer block of uninterrupted attention. REPLACE THE LOOP, NOT JUST THE APP Blocking creates space; a replacement gives that space direction. Habits let you define a better next action, select the days it matters, choose a reminder time, and mark genuine progress. Read a page, take a walk, stretch, journal, drink water, or return to the work already in front of you. The choice is yours. SEE PROGRESS WITHOUT FALSE PROMISES Journey brings together completed sessions, protected time, streaks, and collectible milestones. Daily Insights and seven-day Screen Time views help you notice patterns in the activity Apple makes available. Reports can vary with Screen Time data availability, and Unscroll does not promise a particular reduction. It gives you tools to observe, decide, and practise a more intentional response. START IN THREE STEPS 1. Allow Screen Time access on your iPhone. 2. Pick the apps, categories, and websites you want to protect. 3. Choose a duration and begin Focus. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your protected selections and detailed Screen Time activity stay on your iPhone. Reports use Apple’s privacy-preserving Screen Time frameworks. Unscroll cannot see the private content inside the apps or websites you protect. Sign in with Apple is optional; the core experience does not require an account. Optional cloud backup is separate and under your control. BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY Use Unscroll before work, during study, at bedtime, or whenever a quick check tends to become an endless feed. Notifications can support selected Habit reminders, while the app remains useful if notifications are unavailable. Screen Time authorization and the protected items you choose can be reviewed through iPhone settings. UNSCROLL PRO Hard Mode and higher limits for Routines or Habits require Unscroll Pro. Subscription terms are displayed before purchase. Eligible App Store purchases can be restored from Settings. The app interface is available in 11 languages. Unscroll works with Apple Screen Time on iPhone. Availability and reporting depend on Screen Time authorization and iOS behavior.
