Store listing

Full description
ScrollFree is a powerful Shorts & Reels blocker that lets you block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and Snapchat short content without blocking the entire app. 🚫📱 Stop doomscrolling while keeping the features you actually use. Short-form videos are designed to keep you scrolling. Minutes turn into hours. Focus drops. Productivity suffers. Instead of deleting social media or using a strict app blocker, ScrollFree removes only the addictive short video feeds inside supported apps. You can still browse, message and watch long-form content without getting trapped in endless scrolling. 🎯 Supported Platforms • YouTube Shorts blocker • Instagram Reels blocker • Facebook Reels blocker • Snapchat short content control 🔒 Smart App Blocker with Friction Unlock Need stronger boundaries? ScrollFree also works as a full app blocker. Schedule blocking sessions for any app during selected times. When a block is active, the app won’t open. To unlock it, you must hold a button for a chosen amount of time. ⏳ This built-in delay reduces impulsive behavior and helps break automatic scrolling habits. ⚙️ Key Features • Block Shorts & Reels without deleting apps • Built-in social media blocker • Scheduled app blocking • Custom hold-to-unlock duration • Lightweight & fast • Privacy-first design 🚀 Why Users Choose ScrollFree • Stop doomscrolling • Improve focus • Regain lost time • Build healthier screen habits • Increase productivity ScrollFree is designed to help people struggling with doomscrolling, phone addiction and endless scrolling on short-form video platforms. By blocking YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and other addictive feeds, ScrollFree acts as a powerful social media blocker and focus tool to help reduce screen time and scrolling addiction. Accessibility Service Usage ScrollFree uses the Android AccessibilityService API to detect when supported apps (such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat) display short-form video feeds like Shorts or Reels. This allows ScrollFree to: • Detect when a short-form video feed appears • Block or hide these feeds inside supported apps • Prevent blocked apps from opening during scheduled blocking sessions The Accessibility Service is only used locally on your device to provide these blocking features. ScrollFree does NOT: • collect personal data • record keystrokes • read messages or private content • capture screen content • share any information with third parties Accessibility access is optional and must be manually enabled by the user in Android settings. The service runs only when supported apps are open in order to enforce the blocking rules selected by the user. 🔐 Privacy ScrollFree does not collect, store, or sell any personal data. All blocking and detection happens locally on your device.
