About

ScrollWager

This app locks your applications, requiring you to earn screen time by completing challenges or physical activities to unlock them. It aims to make app usage a conscious decision rather than an automatic habit. Earned minutes carry over, and a hard daily limit prevents excessive challenges.

Highlights
  • Apps locked around the clock
  • Unlock one app at a time
  • Earn minutes by moving
  • Hard daily challenge limit
  • Strict Mode for deletion prevention
  • Streak and milestone tracking
  • Usage history

Your apps are locked. All day, every day. To get in, you spend screentime you earned. Tap a locked app and ScrollWager asks one question: how much of your screentime is this worth? Set the amount, take the challenge, live with the result. Win and the app opens for exactly the minutes you set. Lose and it stays locked. That is the whole idea. Scrolling stops being automatic and becomes a decision. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want locked. They stay locked around the clock — no schedules, no time windows, nothing that opens on its own. 2. Tap one. ScrollWager asks how many minutes it is worth to you, starting at 5. 3. Take on the challenge. Flip a coin, spin a wheel, play a hand, clear a grid or drop a ball. 4. Win and the app opens for the minutes you chose. Lose and those minutes are gone. 5. Out of minutes? Earn more. Walk, do pushups in front of the camera, or solve a quick puzzle. WHAT YOU GET - Locked around the clock. No schedule to set, no window that opens by itself. - One app at a time. An unlock opens the app you tapped, not your whole phone. - A daily allowance. Each morning your balance is topped up to the daily limit you chose. Minutes you earn on top stay until you spend them. - Earn by moving. Steps and camera-counted pushups both pay into your balance. - Earn by thinking. A daily Word Guess, Word Groups, Logic Grid and Sudoku, plus Quick Math and Trivia anytime. - Strict Mode. While it is on, no app can be deleted, ScrollWager included, and locked apps cannot be taken off your list. Adding more is always allowed. - Streaks and milestones. Every day the lock holds counts. - History. What you earned, what you spent, and what it cost you. BUILT FOR - Anyone who opens the same app without deciding to - People who have tried blockers and tapped straight through them - Students and anyone protecting a block of work - Anyone who wants scrolling to cost something instead of being forbidden PRIVACY ScrollWager uses Apple's Screen Time API. Which apps you pick and how you use them stays on your device — Apple's system does not let that data out. SUBSCRIPTION ScrollWager needs an active subscription to lock and unlock apps. Without one the locks come off, and your app list, balance and streak stay where they are.
