Turn your phone into a glowing LED scroller. Type a message, pick a style, and Scrolly fills the whole screen with smooth, bright scrolling text — perfect for pickups at the airport, cheering at a game, a birthday shout-out, or just saying something big. HOW IT WORKS • Type your message and see it live in preview • Choose scroll direction — left, right, up, down, or hold it static • Pick colors, glow, outline and an authentic LED-dot look • Set your speed, loop it forever or a fixed number of times • Go full-screen for a real LED-sign effect, with an optional screen brightness boost READY-MADE TEMPLATES Six built-in templates for common moments — airport pickup, concert, cheering on a team, a quiet message, a sale sign, a birthday — or save any banner you make as your own template. SAVE & EXPORT Keep your favorite banners, rename, duplicate or favorite them, and pick up right where you left off. Export any banner as an MP4 video or GIF to share anywhere. BUILT FOR EVERYONE • Full support for larger text sizes and VoiceOver • Reduce Motion and Reduce Flash options, with a safe blink-rate limit • Works in portrait and landscape YOUR PRIVACY Scrolly works completely offline. There's no account, no sign-up, no ads, and no analytics. The only thing the app ever asks permission for is adding a saved video or GIF to your Photos library when you choose to export — and only at that moment. It never reads your existing photos. No internet connection required. No data ever leaves your device.
