StillScroll: Mindful Scrolling

Before Instagram, TikTok or Reddit opens, take a one-minute mindful pause. Finish it, unlock scroll time, and turn an automatic habit into a conscious choice.

Stillscroll puts a calm pause between you and the apps that pull you in. Pick the apps you want to slow down. When you open one, Stillscroll asks for a short practice first — a minute of breath, a quiet meditation, or a few rounds of yoga. Finish it, and the app unlocks for a while. Then the pause returns.

How it works — Pick the apps you want to put behind a pause. Stillscroll only touches those. — Open one, and Stillscroll asks for a short practice before it opens. — Finish the practice and the app unlocks. A one-minute practice earns a few minutes; longer practices earn more. — Earned time counts down only while you're actually in the app. When it's up, the pause returns. — Miss a day? Nothing to lose.

Practices — Quiet guided meditations, one to ten minutes — Box breathing (4-4-4-4) — Yoga sun salutations — Several voices to choose from — Several start-and-finish bells: singing bowl, gong, chime, hand bell, and more — Spoken intros and closings that vary each time

Quiet by design — A gentle day streak — miss a day and you don't lose it — See your practice minutes and the opens you paused — No leaderboards, no scores, no shame

Private — Anonymous by default — no name or email to sign up — Apple Screen Time enforces the pause, even when the app is closed — Your Screen Time data stays on your device
