Read full description

Scroll Journal is a private, manual journal for noticing how social media affects your day. Record individual sessions, compare your mood before and after, capture why you opened a platform, and finish the day with one reflection. RECORD WITH INTENTION • Enter any platform name or use a short suggestion. • Record the date, time spent, reason for opening, mood before, and mood after. • Add up to three built-in or custom tags. • Save multiple sessions per day. • Edit or delete previous sessions. REFLECT ON YOUR DAY Write one Daily Reflection about what felt useful, distracting, intentional, or unnecessary. Follow your reflection progress during the week and revisit previous days with their sessions, mood changes, tags, and reflection. REVIEW YOUR PATTERNS After at least three recorded sessions, view weekly or monthly summaries that may include: • Average recorded session duration • Intentional-use percentage • Improved, unchanged, and declined mood outcomes • Frequently recorded platforms, reasons, and tags • Reflection progress and recording streaks • Comparisons with the previous period when enough entries are available Insights are calculated from your own entries on your device. They are rule-based summaries, not external AI analysis. SAVE CREATORS WORTH REVISITING Keep a private creator library for informative or productive accounts. Save a name or @handle, and optionally add a screenshot, profile link, or personal note. Search, edit, open, or delete saved creators whenever you want. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required • No advertising or analytics • No tracking • No third-party SDKs or external AI services • Journal entries and creator-library content remain on your device • Optional reflection reminders are scheduled locally by iOS Core journaling works without an internet connection. Internet access is only needed when you choose to open an external creator, website, privacy, or support link. Scroll Journal is a manual journaling tool. It does not automatically monitor Screen Time or read activity from social-media apps.
