Scrollmate: Screen Control

Scrollmate blocks the apps you keep opening, and hands the snooze button to someone you trust. Pick the apps that eat your day, set rules for when they are off limits, and connect an accountability partner with an invite code. When a rule kicks in, Scrollmate blocks the app. If you really need more time, you send your partner a request with a photo and a reason. They say yes or no from their own phone. Free 3-day trial, then a subscription is required. Partners use Scrollmate for free. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to use less 2. Set rules: focus hours, sleep, or a daily budget 3. Invite a partner with a code 4. When a rule is active, Scrollmate blocks the app 5. Need more time? Send a request with a selfie and a reason 6. Your partner approves or denies it from their phone WHY IT WORKS Most blockers leave the final decision to you. That sounds fine until you are bored, tired, or twenty minutes deep into a feed, and "ignore for today" is one tap away. Scrollmate adds one step you cannot tap past: another person has to say yes. FEATURES Partner approval Extra time only happens when your partner approves it from their own phone. App blocking Rules for focus hours, sleep and daily budgets, across the apps you choose. Requests with context Explain why you need more time, with a photo, before your partner decides. Focus score One number for how your day is going, from screen time, pickups and notifications. Emergency unlock A weekly SOS hour for the moments that really cannot wait. Invite codes only Accounts connect by sharing a code. No username search, no contact uploads, no strangers. USE SCROLLMATE FOR Cutting back on doomscrolling Keeping work and study hours free of interruptions Protecting your sleep from late-night scrolling Building better phone habits with a friend or partner PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY On Android, Scrollmate uses Usage access to see which app is open, and Display over other apps to show the block screen. Strict mode optionally uses an Accessibility service so blocks hold more reliably. These are used only to enforce the rules you set.

We do not upload contacts and we do not sell data. Privacy policy: https://smallstack.dk/scrollmate/privacy Terms of service: https://smallstack.dk/scrollmate/terms-of-service
