## Description

YScroll: Take Control of Your Time<br><br>YScroll is a smart mobile app designed to help you stop endless scrolling on short-form videos, starting with YouTube Shorts. Say goodbye to losing hours mindlessly scrolling and regain control of your time and focus.<br><br>Why YScroll?<br>Scrolling can be addictive, but it doesn’t have to control your day. YScroll sets gentle but effective boundaries to help you enjoy content without wasting your time.<br><br>YScroll isn’t about blocking everything or being extreme, it’s about helping you develop healthy scrolling habits while still enjoying your favorite short-form videos.<br><br>Take control. Stop endless scrolling. Be productive.<br><br>Accessibility Permission<br><br>YScroll uses the Android Accessibility Service to detect when the user is watching short-form content such as YouTube Shorts or TikTok. This allows the app to measure scrolling time and redirect the user when a daily limit is reached.<br><br>The Accessibility Service is used only for:<br>• Detecting short-form video usage<br>• Tracking scrolling time<br>• Redirecting the user when the limit is reached<br><br>YScroll does NOT collect personal data, does NOT read private messages, and does NOT store browsing activity. All processing happens completely on the device.<br><br>The accessibility permission is optional and can be turned off at any time in the device settings.
