Sqroll turns screen time into something you earn — by living well. Instead of another app that just blocks you, Sqroll gives your scroll a price: the apps that steal your time open to a shield, not a feed. To get back in, you earn it — and every way in makes you healthier. EARN THROUGH A LIFESTYLE Connect Apple Health and your healthy habits become your fuel: • Real workouts earn scroll time minute-for-minute • A 10,000-step day drops a bonus into your balance • Fall asleep by your target bedtime and wake up to more time Prefer to earn on the spot? Do a few squats — the camera counts your reps, no equipment needed. Unused minutes roll over to tomorrow, so you can bank ahead. STAY IN CONTROL A live budget tank shows exactly where your day is going — calm green to over-the-line red — so you always know where you stand. GROW, DON'T ROT When the itch to scroll hits, micro-learn instead. The Learn feed is the good part of a feed with none of the brainrot: mind-bending facts, cultures from around the world, and book summaries you can finish in minutes. MEET BUN Your accountability pet thrives when you move and fades when you scroll — your habits, made impossible to ignore. GO DEEPER • Deep Focus sessions you can't quit early • Hard Mode — apps stay locked, only real effort unlocks them • Streaks, freezes, and weekly & monthly wrapped reports PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your pose data is processed on-device. Health data is used only to credit your scroll time. Scroll less. Know more. Sqroll is a healthier way to be.

AppTimeLock

The apps that pull you in are designed to. AppTimeLock puts you back in charge of where your time goes. Now available in 8 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Japanese and Portuguese. A BUDGET, NOT JUST A WALL Give an app a daily limit. Use it, and when the budget runs out it locks for a cooldown — then refills. Or block outright when you'd rather not open the door at all. Block a single app or a whole category in one go. STRICT MODE Most blockers fail at the moment you need them most. Strict Mode adds a waiting period before you can remove or weaken any block — so a moment of weakness can't undo your whole day. SCHEDULES Block apps during work hours, bedtime, or any window you choose, on the days you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN AppTimeLock never learns which apps you pick, and nothing about your blocks ever leaves your device. No account, no tracking, no cloud. AppTimeLock Pro unlocks unlimited apps, whole-category blocking, always-on mode, schedules, and Strict Mode. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AppTimeLock at none against Sqroll's shown. Sqroll's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
