Store listing

Full description
Take back your attention without deleting the apps you still need. ScrollBrake helps you set clear boundaries around distracting short-form video. Choose which supported apps to protect, decide whether to block only short-form sections or the entire app, and set a schedule that fits your day. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS . Block YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Facebook Reels, and Snapchat Spotlight . Keep useful parts of supported apps available with short-form-only mode . Choose full-app blocking when you need a stronger boundary . Set daily limits and automatic focus schedules . Use strict mode when you do not want an easy override . Take intentional focus breaks when your rules allow them . See local daily block counts and estimated focus time saved LOCAL BY DESIGN Your blocking rules and recent block history stay on your device. ScrollBrake does not save or upload messages, passwords, captions, comments, usernames, or full screen text. WHY ACCESSIBILITY IS NEEDED ScrollBrake uses Android Accessibility only to detect the supported app or generic short-form section you chose to block and to perform the deterministic blocking action you configured. Interface text is inspected briefly in memory on your device and is not stored or uploaded. You enable this permission yourself in Android Settings and can disable it at any time. ScrollBrake also uses Usage Access to identify the foreground app and may use overlay access to show the blocking experience. The app explains each permission before directing you to Android Settings. Start with guest mode-no account required-or use Google Sign-In. You can delete your account and associated data from Settings at any time. Put the brakes on endless scrolling and make room for what matters.
