Earn The Scroll: App Blocker

Earn The Scroll is an app blocker that turns productivity and exercise into screen time. Choose the apps you want to block, earn Scroll Credits through productive apps or movement, and use those credits to unlock time for your favorite apps.

Read a chapter, learn something new, take a walk, do push-ups or complete squats. Make room for activities that matter before your next scroll.

How the app blocker works

• Choose distracting apps from the apps installed on your phone.
• Choose the apps you consider productive to earn credits while using them.
• Earn more credits with walking, push-ups and squats in Sport.
• Spend your credits on a 5, 10, 15 or 20-minute unlock session.
• Your selected apps are blocked again when the session ends.

Credits are spent when you start a session. The timer keeps running even if you leave the app, helping you make screen time a conscious choice.

Move more. Earn screen time.

Sport gives you three ways to turn movement into minutes:

• Walking: 150 steps = 1 minute of Scroll Credits.
• Push-ups: 2 completed reps = 1 minute.
• Squats: 2 completed reps = 1 minute.

Track daily steps and milestones, with step rewards up to 15,000 steps per day. Your mode's daily credit limit still applies. Walking is available on the free plan. Camera-counted push-ups and squats require Premium.

Turn productive time into credits

Build productivity into your daily routine. Choose your own reading, audiobook, language learning or other productive apps from the app picker. Time spent using your selected apps earns Scroll Credits automatically.

You decide which apps help you grow and which apps need limits. Your choices can change with your goals.

Your apps. Your rules.

Use the app blocker to put boundaries around social media, games and other distracting apps. Select the apps you want to control, keep useful tools available, and replace automatic scrolling with intentional breaks.

Choose your daily limit

Three modes help you manage screen time at your own pace:

• Free Flow: earn up to 120 minutes per day.
• Controlled Growth: earn up to 60 minutes per day.
• Discipline Mode: earn up to 30 minutes per day.

These are maximums, not free allowances: you earn the minutes you use. Credits and daily counters reset at midnight. Spending credits does not reopen your earning limit that day. Controlled Growth and Discipline Mode require Premium.

See your progress

Follow your productive time, social app usage and daily progress. Build XP, levels, streaks and achievements as you develop more consistent habits. Make productivity visible, one day at a time.
