About

Scroll Ladder

Read full description

One ladder is now free forever, with no 24-hour limit. Pro unlocks up to eight ladders. Paid skips are always available without a Pro subscription and are charged separately. Stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Choose how you earn your next 15 minutes. Scroll Ladder blocks the apps and websites you choose, then opens a timed access window when you complete an allowed unlock method. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose apps, websites, or categories. Start blocking immediately or after a daily free allowance. 2. Set your allowed unlock methods and a 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60-minute access window. 3. When blocked, choose an enabled method to open access. Return to the protected app yourself. A LITTLE MORE EACH TIME The first math unlock asks for 1 question; the first movement unlock asks for 5 reps. Each completed unlock raises the daily step. Choose from five math difficulty levels and 10 movement exercises, including squats and jumping jacks. The ladder resets each day. Paid skips are separate consumable purchases. Each opens one access window, with the price shown before purchase. The price rises with the daily step and caps at step 4. No account is required. Protected selections and activity history stay on your iPhone. Movement video is processed on device and is not saved or uploaded. Screen Time authorization is required and can be revoked in iOS Settings. Set up your first ladder and make the next open intentional.

LockPilot locks the apps you choose behind your own PIN or Face ID, separate from your iPhone passcode. LOCK IT YOUR WAY • Always locked: apps stay locked until you unlock them. • Schedule: lock games at night or social apps during work, just like an alarm. • Daily limit: choose how long you can use an app each day, or the hours it's allowed. • Hard lock: lock everything for a set time when you really need to focus. FAST AND SIMPLE • Unlock for 1 to 60 minutes with Face ID or your PIN. The app locks again by itself. • Quick lock, hard lock and pause from one ring on the home screen. • Press and hold the LockPilot icon to lock everything in a second. • Pause locking for a while; it switches back on by itself. • Lock websites too. • Works with Siri and Shortcuts. Available in 18 languages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN LockPilot uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your choices stay on your iPhone: LockPilot can't see the names or contents of the apps you lock, and that information never leaves your device. FREE AND PRO The free version includes one lock group and shows ads. LockPilot Pro removes ads and unlocks unlimited lock groups. LOCKPILOT PRO • Pro Yearly: 1-year auto-renewing subscription with a 7-day free trial. • Pro Lifetime: one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase (for the yearly plan, when the free trial ends).
