Features & Capabilities

Block Scroll disables YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikToks and other short-video feeds while keeping the core apps usable. Use the new App Blocker to block specific apps completely, schedule or pause blocking for mindful breaks, and track short-video time with the Habit Tracker to curb doomscrolling and boost productivity.

Privacy-first and easy to use: Block Scroll uses the Accessibility Service API and a foreground service for reliable blocking without collecting personal data. Customize blocking modes, set schedules, and monitor your habits to reclaim time and build healthier screen routines. Install Block Scroll to focus, reduce screen time, and enjoy apps intentionally.
