Description
ScrollGuard – Block Reels, Shorts & Stop Scrolling 🚫 ScrollGuard is a productivity app designed to help you stop wasting time on addictive short-form videos and endless feeds. Whether it’s Reels, Shorts, or doom-scrolling, ScrollGuard helps you regain your focus, reduce screen time, and improve your digital wellbeing so you can spend more time on what truly matters.
Why ScrollGuard? 🤔 Short-form videos, Reels, Shorts, and infinite feeds are designed to keep you hooked, leading to increased screen time, distractions, and lost productivity. Most app blockers cut you off from entire apps, making it hard to stay connected while avoiding the real problem: doom-scrolling. ScrollGuard takes a smarter approach: it lets you reduce screen time and use social media in a mindful, balanced way by disabling only the addictive content, not the entire app.
Key Features 🌟 - Disable Reels & Shorts Without Blocking the App: Instantly block Shorts and Reels on popular platforms, while keeping messaging and other core features available. - Anti-Scroll Mode: If you scroll for too long, a customizable popup prompts you to pause for a minute or quit instantly. All settings are fully customizable per app. - Strict Mode with Accountability: Protect your settings with a password. Share the password with an accountability partner to help you stay committed to your time management goals. - Custom Break Messages: Personalize the popup with your own motivational reminders for extra encouragement. - Pause, With Limits: Easily pause protection for planned exceptions, with safeguards to prevent endless pausing. - Usage Statistics: You can only improve what you can measure. Track your daily screen time within ScrollGuard to help you reduce screen time and set better goals. How ScrollGuard Improves Digital Wellbeing 📉 - Stop Doom-Scrolling: Block addictive content like Reels, Shorts, and infinite feeds so you spend less time trapped in mindless scrolling. - Reduce Screen Time: Effectively cut down on unnecessary screen time by eliminating the most distracting social media features. - Build Self-Control: The anti-scroll popup interrupts unconscious habits, giving you space to choose whether to keep scrolling or take a healthy break. - Boost Productivity: With fewer distractions, save hours every day for study, work, hobbies, or family. - Support Accountability: Lock settings to involve a friend or partner, making it easier to stay on track and achieve your digital wellbeing goals.
Perfect For 💪 - Anyone who wants to reduce screen time and improve their digital wellbeing - Students and professionals seeking better focus and time management - Parents helping teens cut down on social media addiction - Anyone who wants to enjoy social media for its social aspect while avoiding the infinite scroll

I'm on day 2 on the pro service. The app seems like its built for Instagram and does not block most if the reels on facebook. It doesn't actually block the reels function on any of the apps, instead it blocks the screen and covers 3/4 of the reel. The audio still plays and the fraction of video you can see continues to play. I had high hopes this app could disable the reels entirely or block the main feed of nonsense from facebook, so I could focus on the few uses I keep facebook around for.

The app does an ok job when it comes ti blocking content on Instagram, but they have charged me around 1200rsd for renewing my subscription without warning me 2 or 1 day earlier like ,hey, your subscription is about to be renewed...do u want to keep it or cancel it, im saying this because I wanted to cancel it, and they just did nothing to warn me about it(i just received the notification from my bank that I have been sharged)
