Unscroll vs Kedge

Close the feed. Open your day. Unscroll is a Screen Time app blocker for the moment you reach for a distracting app without really deciding to. Choose what pulls you in, start a Focus, and those apps stay closed until you are done. No guilt and no unrealistic promises, only a clear boundary you set yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block social media, short video, news, games and websites you choose • Start a Focus for work, study, sleep, reading or time with people • Set Automations that start and end blocking on your schedule • Build Habits with the days and reminder times you pick • Start a Focus or check your day from Home Screen widgets • See sessions, protected time, streaks and badges in Journey • Understand your Screen Time by day, hour and app A SHIELD THAT STAYS CLOSED While a Focus is running, the apps you chose show the Unscroll Shield instead of the feed. To open one, you first end the Focus in Unscroll. Hard Mode goes further: the Shield offers no way out, and ending a Focus early takes a 30-second wait. AUTOMATIONS FOR YOUR DAY Set blocking once for work hours, evenings, bedtime or reading time. Automations begin and end on the days and hours you choose, even when the app is closed. GIVE THE TIME TO SOMETHING BETTER Blocking makes room; a habit gives that room a direction. Add habits like reading or a walk, choose the days, set a reminder, and log them when you do them. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Journey brings together completed sessions, protected time, your streak and collectible badges. Screen Time views show where your time goes. Reports depend on the data Apple makes available, and Unscroll does not promise a particular reduction. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The apps you protect and your detailed Screen Time activity stay on your iPhone. Unscroll cannot see what you do inside other apps. Sign in with Apple is optional and backs up your progress. UNSCROLL PRO Hard Mode, unlimited Automations and Habits, longer Journey history and extra app icons require Unscroll Pro. Choose a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices and terms are shown before you buy, and purchases can be restored in Settings. Unscroll uses Apple Screen Time on iPhone and needs Screen Time access to work.

Kedge makes your phone boring for a while. That is the whole trick. Pick the apps that get you. Choose when they are shut. When you reach for one anyway, Kedge is already in the way. WHAT IT DOES Block on demand. Start a block for fifteen minutes, two hours, or until you end it yourself. Block on a schedule. Mornings until ten. Evenings after nine. It arms itself and runs with Kedge closed. Block after a daily limit. Give yourself an hour of something. When the hour is gone, so is the app, until tomorrow. THREE LEVELS OF FRICTION The point of Kedge is not that blocking is impossible. It is that leaving early costs something. Gentle — unlock one app for five minutes from the block screen, as often as you like. For when you actually did need the thing. Firm — a sixty-second wait, then the block ends. Three times a day. Strict — type forty random characters, exactly. Once a day. Strict can also stop the app being deleted while a block is running. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-up. No email address. Nothing leaves your phone. Kedge cannot see which apps you chose — iOS never tells it. It knows how many, and nothing else. No streak guilt, no notifications nagging you, no leaderboard, no coach. No invented numbers. Kedge only shows you what it can actually measure. Time held is time a block was genuinely up. A day counts towards your streak when a block ran to the end and nothing was unlocked early. If it cannot be counted honestly, it is not on the screen. FREE AND PRO The free plan is a working app, not a trial. One profile, started by hand, at Gentle, with the last seven days of history. It does not expire. Pro adds as many profiles as you want, blocks that arm themselves on a schedule or a daily limit, the Firm and Strict friction levels, and your full history by week. REQUIREMENTS Kedge uses Apple's Screen Time permission to block apps. It asks once, and you can withdraw it any time in iOS Settings. iOS 16 or later. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Kedge Pro is offered as a monthly or an annual subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://kedgefocus.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://kedgefocus.com/privacy/
