Meet Dopa — the little monster living in your screen. Every time you open an app out of habit and scroll without thinking, Dopa grows a little bigger. Unscroll is the calm, playful way to shrink it: block the apps that hook you, run real focus sessions, and slowly win your attention back. No shame. No lectures. Just a friendlier relationship with your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Block distracting apps — pick the apps that steal your time and lock them. Add friction so opening them takes real, deliberate effort. • Focus sessions — start a timer, put the phone down, and watch the monster shrink. Turn on Hard Mode when you want zero escape routes. • Focus schedules — set "study" or "sleep" windows so distractions stay locked without relying on willpower. • See where your time goes — a clear picture of your screen time, your most-used apps, and how each day stacks up against your goal. • Streaks and badges — hit your daily goal, keep your streak alive, and unlock badges as your focus habit grows. • Exam Mode — heading into a big study stretch? Lock things down even harder until the day you choose. BUILT TO BE USED LESS, NOT MORE Unscroll isn't another app fighting for your attention. It's quiet, honest, and on your side — designed to give your time back to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your usage, block list, and focus history are stored on your device. UNSCROLL PREMIUM Go further with Premium: • Unlimited blocked apps • Stronger friction and Hard Mode • Exam Mode • Detailed weekly analytics and trends Choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Cancel anytime. Your screen-time monster grows a little with every mindless scroll. Download Unscroll and start shrinking it today.

Your scrolling now has a battery. ScrollVolt is a screen time limit and app blocker that doesn't make you quit your phone. Pick the apps that steal your time – social media, short videos, games, whatever it is for you – and give them a scroll battery. Scroll and it drains. Put the phone down and it recharges. Simple. WHY HARD BLOCKING DOESN'T STICK Most blockers lock everything and hope for the best. A day later you turn them off. ScrollVolt gives you a budget instead: you still get to scroll, just not endlessly. Doomscrolling turns into a choice you make on purpose. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to limit 2. They share one scroll battery that drains while you use them 3. Drag the battery to unlock exactly as many minutes as you want 4. At zero, a calm shield replaces the feed until it recharges 5. Start a focus session to charge it 2x faster THE HALF CHALLENGE ScrollVolt doesn't ask you to go cold turkey. It lowers your daily limit by 5, 10 or 15 minutes a day until you scroll half as much as you do today. Small enough to stick, big enough to win back hours every week. FOCUS SESSIONS Lock in for a workout, study session or deep work. Every distracting app stays locked for the session, and your battery charges twice as fast while you're away. MEET VOLTY Volty is your little battery buddy. Full of energy when you take breaks, running low when you scroll too much. A friendly nudge, not a lecture. WHAT'S INSIDE • Scroll battery for any apps you choose • Drag-to-unlock minute picker • Calm shield screen when the battery is empty • Focus sessions with 2x charging • Half Challenge to cut screen time step by step • Live battery, daily chart and weekly scroll trend • A log of every scroll and focus session PRIVATE BY DESIGN ScrollVolt uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Apple only shares anonymous tokens for the apps you choose, everything runs on your iPhone, and there is no account, no tracking and no ads. Less doomscrolling, more life. Charge up. SUBSCRIPTION ScrollVolt Premium is a yearly auto-renewing subscription with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
