Unscroll: Live Screen Time

Live screen time - for people who outsmart blockers. Targets that time blind feeling while scrolling. You don't hate social media. You hate how it makes you feel after 2 hours of mindless scrolling. You’ve probably tried: a. Screen Time Limits → but ignored them b. App blockers → too restrictive when you need them, inevitably you turn them off c. Deleting apps cold turkey → makes it difficult to keep up with friends, the news and the content you enjoy, so you re-download them after a month Why Unscroll works when app blockers don't: • Social media can be useful, but scrolling apps are designed to keep your attention for as long as possible. • Blockers create friction at the wrong time - when you actually need to check something. • Unscroll keeps you conscious WHILE you scroll, so you can stop when you decide, not when an app forces you. How it works: 1. Before you open Instagram: See how much you've already scrolled today (not after you've wasted 45 minutes and been caught in a comparison spiral) 2. While you're scrolling: A Live Activity shows your real-time scrolling session right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - keeping the rational part of your brain engaged (instead of letting autopilot take over) 3. All feeds in one place: Check what's new across all your social feeds in 5 minutes, not 5 x 20 mins 4. Track your patterns: Watch your usage drop naturally as awareness builds No restrictions: - No need to unplug and replace your iPhone with a dumbphone or brick - Less annoying than One Sec's friction, with sustained awareness instead of momentary interruption - Low-friction alternative to the standard blocking apps like (Opal, Jomo, Freedom, Clearspace) For people who want to: → Stop wasting hours doomscrolling Instagram reels and prevent brain rot → Eliminate TikTok scrolling addiction and reduce screen time → Reduce compulsive phone pickups and protect attention span → Be intentional about keeping up with friends and the news → Improve overall digital wellbeing and build healthier phone habits → Reduce FOMO and the effect of constant comparisons on your mental health and wellbeing → Get help with social media addiction → Replace scrolling with more time wellspent → Work toward some no-scroll streaks and screen-free time Works with all your distracting social feeds: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Discord, Twitch, and any app you want to be more intentional with - including Mail, Messages, or news apps.

Your attention is precious. Built by someone who needs it: After 10+ years of struggling with my own social media habits, and using every screen time and app blocking tool out there, I built Unscroll. Not to quit social media, but to use it like a tool. Since I've Unscrolled my phone I've cut down my scrolling time 60-70%. Happy to share it with other people too :) —Cameron Terms of Use: https://unscroll.io/terms
