Feed-level blocking
Targets YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok's For You page specifically — the rest of each app stays fully usable.
Get +2 hours back every day
A calmer way to hold your phone.
ScrollFocus quietly blocks YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok's feed once you've had enough for the day — while the rest of your apps stay exactly as they are.
No account needed. Your screen activity never leaves your phone.
What it does
Built for the feeds that pull hardest
ScrollFocus doesn't block whole apps — it targets the specific short-form feeds designed to keep you scrolling, and leaves the rest of the app alone.
Daily time budgets
Set your own limit per feed, in minutes. Once it's reached, that feed pauses itself until tomorrow.
A gentle pause screen
When time's up, you'll see a plain, no-guilt reminder — not a lecture. Close it and move on with your day.
Usage stats & streaks
See how long you actually spent on each feed today and this week, plus how many days you've stayed under budget.
Runs quietly, on-device
No accounts, no constant notifications. ScrollFocus works in the background and stays out of your way.
You're always in control
Change or turn off any limit whenever you want. ScrollFocus is a tool for your habits, not a lock you can't open.
Getting started
Set up in under a minute
Four short steps between installing the app and your first feed pausing itself.
01
Turn on one permission
ScrollFocus needs Accessibility access to recognize short-form feeds. It's a one-time, 20-second setup.
02
Choose what to limit
Pick the feeds you want to manage — Shorts, Reels, TikTok, or all three at once.
03
Set your daily budget
Decide how many minutes feel right for you. Adjust it anytime as your habits change.
04
Scroll, then stop
When your time's up, that feed pauses gently. Everything else on your phone keeps working as normal.
Your scrolling is your business.
ScrollFocus checks what's on your screen only to recognize short-form feeds. That information never leaves your device.
Processed on-device
No account required
Nothing sold or shared
Your feed doesn't have to run forever.
Install ScrollFocus and set your first limit today. It's free.
