Last Scroll Stop Doomscrolling

Read full description

Stop doomscrolling at night. Set a screen time limit for the apps you choose, then see the minutes beyond your own boundary as Scroll Debt. Built for bedtime scrolling, with Scroll Traps for morning checks, lunch breaks, work escapes, or your own custom windows. Pick the apps that pull you in. Create Scroll Traps for the moments where you usually lose control — bed rot, lunch holes, work escapes, morning checks, or any custom window. Set your line. Last Scroll tracks what happens after it. If warnings are too easy to ignore, Hard Mode can hold the boundary by restricting selected traps after you cross the line. WHY LAST SCROLL EXISTS A quick check is not the problem. The problem is when five minutes becomes forty. The problem is when “just Reddit” becomes the hour you wanted back. The problem is the part after your line. Last Scroll gives that part a name: Scroll Debt. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Choose apps and categories with Apple’s Screen Time picker • Create Scroll Traps for different danger windows • Set your personal line, such as 10, 15, or 20 minutes • Get warned when selected usage crosses your line • See today’s Scroll Debt • Review your 30-day pattern in Report • Use Hard Mode to restrict selected traps after crossing your line • Create multiple traps with Last Scroll Pro SCROLL TRAPS Bed Rot For late-night scrolling before sleep. Lunch Hole For the quick break that becomes the afternoon tax. Morning Trap For the first scroll after waking up, while the day is still yours. Work Escape For the focus escape hatch during work time. Custom Trap Draw your own line. LAST SCROLL PRO Upgrade to Last Scroll Pro to unlock: • Hard Mode • Multiple Scroll Traps • Longer Scroll Debt history • More ways to hold your line when warnings are too easy to ignore PRIVATE BY DESIGN Last Scroll uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs so you can choose apps and categories through the system picker. Last Scroll does not require an account. Your selected app names are not sent to analytics. IMPORTANT Last Scroll is a digital wellbeing tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose addiction, or measure sleep. Scroll Debt values are based on your selected apps, trap windows, thresholds, and recorded activity.

You reach for your phone – and 40 minutes later you no longer know why. Think First puts a short, deliberate moment right before that. No lecturing, no permanent lockout. The app stays closed until you have taken a moment – then the decision is yours. SETUP IN THREE STEPS • Pick your app from the list – around 70 well-known apps are built in • Link it in the system dialog so iOS knows which app you mean • Allow notifications – they take you from the blocked app to your countdown HOW YOUR MOMENT WORKS • You tap the app – it is blocked and shows its name • "Start my moment" sends you a notification • You tap it, the countdown runs, then you decide • Finally you set how long you need: 5, 15 or 30 minutes • The app then opens by itself – and locks again once your time is used HOW LONG DO YOU NEED? After the countdown you set yourself a time budget. Real usage counts, not the clock: if the phone sits on the table in between, your budget doesn't run down. Once it's used up the app locks itself again. YOUR APPS, BY NAME AND ICON Every protected app appears the way you know it: in statistics, in notifications and on the lock screen. So you see which app calls you how often – not just an anonymous total. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU NEED IT FOR • Before the app opens you type, in one sentence, what you actually intend to do • Apple Intelligence reads along directly on your iPhone and checks that you really answered – not whether your reason is good enough • Later you see which sentence you tell yourself most often • Your text never leaves your device. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26 STAYING WITH IT, MADE REWARDING • Levels, XP and streaks for every impulse you win, 12 badges • Streak protection: once a week a day may drop out • Add friends and compare the week – free, up to 50 • Share your wins as an image: your numbers, your streak, your badges AT A GLANCE A home screen widget with your numbers per app – and one for the lock screen, right where you reach for the phone. EMERGENCY? SOS Press and hold the app icon, confirm three times: everything is open for 5 minutes. Then everything locks itself again – even if you never open Think First. PRIVACY • Your statistics stay on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no ads • Think First never learns which apps you pick – Apple does not reveal that • The friends feature is optional and data-minimal FREE AND PREMIUM Free, no account, no ads: • Three protected apps with the deliberate moment • State your intention (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) • Instant “Focus now” sessions • Your numbers for today • Levels, XP, streaks and badges • Friends and leaderboard, up to 50 With Premium: • Hard Mode – the lock can't be clicked away while it runs • Daily limits: “30 minutes of social”, then it's done • Focus schedules: “Study 8–15, Mon–Fri” • As many apps as you like • Growing wait: every further reach costs more time today • Impulse quota: “Instagram three times a day, no more” • Time profiles, your own wait and question per app • Advanced statistics including CSV export • 11 themes, 10 app icons, widgets Both subscriptions start with 7 days free: €49.99 a year or €6.99 a month.
