Spool: Screen Time Control
App Blocker, Focus & Limit
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Take back the hours TikTok stole. Spool blocks doomscroll, brainrot, and screen addiction by making you justify every scroll—locks you out when you can't
Less scrolling, more living. Spool blocks doomscrolling, brainrot, and screen addiction at the source — by making you justify yourself before you scroll.
Most screen time blockers don't work because they treat phone addiction like a discipline problem. It's not. It's a habit loop your brain is stuck in — a dopamine cycle reinforced every time you reach for your phone without thinking.
Spool interrupts the cycle. Before any blocked app opens, you have to state your case to our AI. Use the same excuse too many times and Spool locks you out automatically. Built on cognitive behavioral techniques and behavioral research on attention and habit formation.

WHO IT'S FOR
Spool is for anyone struggling with phone addiction, doomscrolling, or losing hours to TikTok, Instagram, Reels, YouTube Shorts, or X. Built for people who've tried Screen Time, willpower, and other app blockers — and want something that actually changes the habit, not just the limit.
WHAT MAKES SPOOL DIFFERENT
Other apps just block. Spool teaches you about yourself. Every excuse you make becomes data. Every reflection makes you more aware. Every blocked attempt strengthens the new habit.
Reclaim your focus. Build a more intentional relationship with your phone.
