Don't Scroll vs Gate

Ever gone to bed intending to sleep, only to realize it's 2 a.m. and you're still scrolling? Don't Scroll helps you stop doomscrolling before bed—without relying on willpower alone. Choose the apps that keep you awake. Set a lock schedule, and they'll be blocked automatically when it's time to wind down. Unlike a typical app blocker, Don't Scroll doesn't stop at "no." When you try to open a blocked app, you can take a three-minute pause with calming sounds. Sometimes that small interruption is enough to break the scroll and put the phone down. WHEN WILLPOWER ISN'T ENOUGH Every app blocker has the same weak point: you can turn it off. Late at night, that can be all too easy. Power Lock closes that loophole. Give the unlock code to someone you trust—a partner, friend, or family member. They receive it by email, and from then on, they hold the key—not you. If you force an override, they'll be notified. Scroll less. Sleep more.

"Block the apps that distract you — as strict as you want. GATE blocks distracting apps in three strictness levels, from a gentle pause to an iron lock. Fair pricing, no subscription traps, no tracking. GATE is for people who genuinely want to cut their screen time — without being tricked. You decide which apps get blocked and how hard the block is. Three levels — you choose how strict • Mindful — A short pause instead of a block: GATE interrupts the autopilot and asks whether you really need the app right now. • Committed — A real block with a waiting period. Unlocking only happens deliberately, through GATE; after that, everything locks again automatically. • Iron — Sealed until the time you set. No self-unlock. As hard as iOS allows — honest, never "unbreakable". Why GATE • Fair pricing — A transparent price, cancel anytime in your App Store settings. No subscription traps, no hidden costs. • Reliable — Built defensively against the known weaknesses of other blockers, so the block actually holds. • Honest stats — Your focus time, shown plainly: no guilt-tripping, no made-up numbers. • Privacy — No tracking, no ads, no forced account. What you block and how long you spend on your phone never leaves your device.
