Description by Sanyi Dev (from Google Play)
YScroll: Take Control of Your Time

YScroll is a smart mobile app designed to help you stop endless scrolling on short-form videos, starting with YouTube Shorts. Say goodbye to losing hours mindlessly scrolling and regain control of your time and focus.

Why YScroll?
Scrolling can be addictive, but it doesn’t have to control your day. YScroll sets gentle but effective boundaries to help you enjoy content without wasting your time.

YScroll isn’t about blocking everything or being extreme, it’s about helping you develop healthy scrolling habits while still enjoying your favorite short-form videos.

Take control. Stop endless scrolling. Be productive.

Accessibility Permission

YScroll uses the Android Accessibility Service to detect when the user is watching short-form content such as YouTube Shorts or TikTok. This allows the app to measure scrolling time and redirect the user when a daily limit is reached.

The Accessibility Service is used only for:
• Detecting short-form video usage
• Tracking scrolling time
• Redirecting the user when the limit is reached

YScroll does NOT collect personal data, does NOT read private messages, and does NOT store browsing activity. All processing happens completely on the device.

The accessibility permission is optional and can be turned off at any time in the device settings.

Recent changes:
YScroll now supports 4 platforms
• Youtube Shorts
• Tiktok
• Instagram Reels
• X(Twitter)

Take control of your time and stay focused!

Comments on YScroll for Android

★★★★☆ Emmanuel Korosso · Mar 29, 2026
Sanyi, the app is great, I love how it automatically closes the app when timer hits its limit. The problem I'm having with the app is that I have to enable permissions every time after the session ends. It would be cooler if you make it to work on Instagram, Facebook and any other addictive scrolling app.
★★★★★ Maereg mesfin · May 28, 2026
It's the best app for consistency and focus especially when you turn on Focus mode
★★★★☆ kelvin maina · Jun 6, 2026
The level of controll is dope,hunt the hidden bug that removes the app permissions once a session ends, also as u push towards 10k downloads, the real moat is adding more addictive platforms and improving the session cool downs to avoid burnouts to users, this is the real moat with productivity apps
★★★★★ Nur Musa · Apr 2, 2026
Great app, it certainly worked on blocking yt shorts for me, wish you could add other social media or even other types of stuff to block like insta reels or fb reels
