Powerful Features for Real Results

ScrollOff isn't just another app blocker. It's a complete system designed around how real people actually use their phones.

🚫

No-Go Zones

Absolute zero access when you need it most

Sometimes you need the hard line. No-Go Zones work on top of your protected apps to enforce absolute zero access during scheduled times. When the zone ends, your apps stay protected and still require credits to access. No credits work during the zone. No peeks, no exceptions.

How It Works

  • Works on your existing protected apps (not a separate list like Quiet Hours)
  • Pro: Minimum 2 hours (most flexible)
  • Premium: Minimum 4 hours
  • Free: Minimum 8 hours
  • Set recurring daily zones (e.g., midnight to 7 AM every night)
  • Zero access during zone, then apps stay protected when zone ends
  • Emergency Unlock available for genuine emergencies (paid)
  • Emergency Disable to end zone early when absolutely necessary (paid)
Sleep Protection
Block apps from 10 PM to 7 AM to stop late-night scrolling
Deep Work
Schedule 4-hour focus blocks with zero distractions
Family Time
Be fully present during dinner hours
Morning Routine

Gamify your focus and earn bonus credits

Turn your focus sessions into a game. Set a challenge duration (1-12 hours), complete it without peeking, and earn bonus credits on top of your regular hourly earnings. Track your winning streaks and watch your discipline grow over time.

How It Works

  • Set challenges from 1 to 12 hours
  • Earn bonus credits when you complete a challenge
  • Track your current winning streak

  • Set automatic start and end times

Score Components

  • Restraint (35%) - Time away from apps vs total time
  • Discipline (30%) - Focus Challenge completion rate
  • Consistency (20%) - Daily engagement and clean streaks

Open Notes

If-then plans for when urges hit

Based on the science of implementation intentions, Open Notes let you create pre-planned responses to urges. When you feel the pull to check Instagram, your counter-move is already ready. "If I feel the urge to scroll, then I'll take 3 deep breaths and check my notes."

How It Works

  • Create "If this... then I'll..." statements
  • Notes appear when you try to open a blocked app
  • Customize notes for different triggers
  • Add reminders of why you're doing this
  • Build better habits through consistent practice

Instant access when life demands it

Life happens. Sometimes you genuinely need to check an app right now - a friend's emergency, an important DM, checking if someone replied. Emergency Tokens give you instant, one-time access without waiting to earn credits. Use sparingly, but they're there when you need them.

Token Options

  • 1-Minute Token - $0.49 - Quick peek for urgent checks
  • 2-Minute Token - $0.99 - Most popular, enough for a quick reply
  • 5-Minute Token - $1.49 - Best value, for when you need more time
  • Pro users get 3 free 5-minute tokens per month

Biometric Lock

Protect settings from your impulsive self

Your determined self sets up ScrollOff. But your impulsive self might try to undo everything at 11 PM. Biometric Lock requires Face ID or Touch ID to change settings, add apps to block lists, or disable features. Your future self will thank you.

What's Protected

  • Adding or removing blocked apps
  • Changing No-Go Zone schedules
  • Modifying earning settings
  • Disabling the app
  • Works with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode
Available in Free

Block Cooldown

Prevent impulsive unblocking

In a moment of weakness, you might want to unblock an app just to "quickly check something." Block Cooldown stops that. Once you add an app to your blocked list, there's a mandatory waiting period before you can remove it. Your determined self makes the decision - your impulsive self has to live with it.

How It Works

  • 2-minute grace period after blocking - undo mistakes instantly
  • After grace period, the shield activates and the cooldown timer starts
  • Free: 2-hour cooldown before you can unblock
  • Premium: 1-hour cooldown
  • Pro: 30-minute cooldown
Late-Night Impulse
It's 11 PM and you want to unblock Instagram. The cooldown forces you to sleep on it instead of giving in.

Blocked the wrong app? No worries - the 2-minute grace period lets you fix mistakes before the cooldown kicks in.

Website Blocking on Safari

Block the web version too, no bypassing

When you block an app like Instagram or TikTok, ScrollOff automatically blocks the matching website (instagram.com, tiktok.com) on Safari. No loopholes, no workarounds. If you block the app, you block the site.

How It Works

  • Automatic website blocking when you add apps to your protected list
  • Covers approximately 40 popular apps and their websites
  • Works on Safari (Apple limitation prevents blocking on Chrome, Firefox, etc.)
  • Blocking page shows Apple's Screen Time or ScrollOff's custom message
  • Request additional websites if your app isn't covered
No Workarounds
Can't just open Safari and browse Instagram when the app is blocked
Complete Protection
Both app and web versions require credits to access

Mindfulness Exercises

Optional moment of reflection before peeks

Before using your earned credits for a peek, ScrollOff can prompt you with a brief mindfulness exercise. Take a breath, consider if you really want to use your credits, and make an intentional choice rather than an impulsive one.

How It Works

  • Optional - turn on or off in settings
  • Brief breathing or reflection prompt
  • Helps break automatic scrolling patterns
  • Creates intentional pause before peeking
