## Description

What if doomscrolling had a price?

ScrollTax locks your most addictive apps. Earn them back by 
reading, focusing, doing chores, walking, or going outside. 
The system enforces it.

Every 5 minutes of screen time costs 1 tax point. Hit zero 
and your apps re-lock automatically. Go over budget and the 
overage becomes debt — it carries into tomorrow, so you start 
the next day already in the red until you work it off.

Your phone, on a budget.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick your apps.
Select any apps to put on a budget using the iOS Screen Time 
picker. Social media, games, news, browsers — they're locked 
by default.

Earn tax points.
· Reading — 10 min = 1 point. No cap.
· Focus (Pomodoro) — 15 min = 1 point. No cap.
· Chores — 10 min = 1 point. No cap.
· Steps — 2,000 steps = 1 point. Syncs with Apple Health.
· Sunlight — 15 min outside = 1 point. Requires Apple Watch.

Spend your budget.
1 point = 5 minutes of screen time. Tracked automatically in 
the background. Hit zero and your apps re-lock on their own. 
You also get 30 free grace minutes every day.

Go into debt.
Spend more than you earn? The overage carries to tomorrow. 
You'll start the next day already in the red — the only way 
out is earning your way back.

THE LOCK IS REAL

ScrollTax uses Apple's own Screen Time enforcement. There's 
no dismiss button, no three-tap override. If you want 
Instagram, you have to earn it. Yes, that means walking 
2,000 steps.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE

ScrollTax never sees which apps you open or what you view. 
No account. No cloud. No ads.

· Lock any app via iOS Screen Time
· All five earn sources: reading, focus, chores, steps, sunlight
· 30 grace minutes per day
· 1 emergency unlock per day (5 minutes)
· Debt carryover — overage rolls to tomorrow
· Live Activities — earn timer on your Lock Screen
· Hard mode — disable the emergency unlock

ScrollTax. Your phone, on a budget.
