ScrollGuard: Screen Time Saver

Take control of your screen time with ScrollGuard, a simple and powerful screen time manager and app blocker designed to help you use your phone more intentionally.

Set daily limits for the apps you use most, receive timely reminders, and choose how ScrollGuard responds when you reach your limit. Whether you want to reduce social media use, stop endless scrolling, improve focus, or build healthier digital habits, ScrollGuard gives you the tools to stay in control.

⏱️ Set Daily App Limits

Choose how much time you want to spend on individual apps each day.

Set limits from a few minutes to several hours and create boundaries that match your goals.

🔔 Smart Screen Time Reminders

Get reminders when you've been using a monitored app for your configured interval.

Use reminders as a simple prompt to pause, check your intention, and decide whether you really want to continue.

🛑 Choose Your Intervention

ScrollGuard gives you different ways to respond when an app reaches its daily limit:

• Gentle — receive a gentle intervention
• Limit — show a stronger limit intervention
• Strict — lock the monitored app when the limit is reached

Choose the approach that works best for each app.

⏳ Temporary Extensions

Need a little extra time?

When an extension is available, you can grant additional time instead of completely abandoning your task. ScrollGuard tracks the extension and continues monitoring toward your extended limit.
