LightScroll: Limit Screen Time

LightScroll helps you take control of your screen time, spend less time on distracting apps and websites, and build healthier digital habits you can actually stick to.

Instead of relying on willpower alone, LightScroll lets you decide ahead of time how you want to use your attention. Set screen time limits, add friction before distracting apps open, and choose what it takes to stay on track, from waiting it out to asking an accountability partner for an unlock code.

SET SCREEN TIME LIMITS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE

Create flexible Controls for the apps and websites that pull you in. Choose when they apply, set daily or per-session limits, allow no time at all, or create an ongoing routine you can return to.

Whether you want fewer social media distractions, more focus while working or studying, or simply less time spent scrolling, your Controls are built around the boundaries you choose.

ADD FRICTION BEFORE YOU SCROLL

Interrupt the impulse before a distracting app or website opens.

Add a deliberate moment before an allowed session starts. Choose a short wait, a quick minigame, a mindful breath, inspiring facts and quotes, or randomized Friction to create space between impulse and action.

The goal isn’t to make your phone unusable. It’s to give you enough time to remember what you meant to do, choose again, and continue when it really matters.

CHOOSE WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR LIMIT

When you reach a screen time limit, you decide ahead of time what it should take to continue.

Choose an Override such as:

• Ask a trusted partner for a 6-digit code
• Wait before an over-limit session can begin
• Choose No Way Out when you don’t want an Override at all

If you override a limit, your commitment for that Control ends for the day, adding a meaningful consequence without locking you out when life genuinely changes.

BUILD BETTER HABITS WITH FRIENDS

Add friends and family, share Controls as challenges, compare progress, and choose one person as your accountability partner. When Partner Code is your Override, only they can give you the code you need to continue.

GO HARDCORE WHEN YOU NEED MORE

Hardcore mode can require your chosen Override before editing or deleting a Control or quitting LightScroll, making impulsive changes harder while leaving room for real life.

TRACK PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION

• Build your streak by following your Controls
• Earn XP from your Daily Score
• Compare progress with friends
• Recover from missed days and keep moving forward

MAKE ROOM FOR LIFE BEYOND THE SCREEN

LightScroll is built for anyone who wants to reduce screen time, stop doomscrolling, block distracting apps and websites, focus while working or studying, set boundaries around social media, and use technology more intentionally.

Your attention is finite.

LightScroll helps you decide what deserves it before the impulse hits and gives you the limits, friction, accountability, and progress tracking to follow through.

Make room for life beyond the screen.

Some advanced features require a monthly or annual LightScroll Plus subscription. Available plans and localized prices are shown before purchase.
