ScrollBuddy

End the doomscrolling loop

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

You don’t have a willpower problem, these algorithms have gotten too good. You don’t have a willpower problem, these algorithms have gotten too good ScrollBuddy ends the delete-reinstall cycle by adding friction that sticks: set it once, and your phone helps you follow through. Why willpower fails • Social apps are built to win the micro-battle every time. • Deleting works for a week… then you reinstall “just to check.” • Pure self-control burns out by evening. How ScrollBuddy breaks the loop • Schedules, not guilt: Pick windows (work, evenings, weekends) or a daily budget. When time’s up, a kind block screen appears. • All your doomscroll apps together: Limit TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and more in one place. • Micro-escape, not relapse: Short “take a break” timers replace the all-or-nothing binge. • Buddy accountability (optional): Share a code with a partner or friend for gentle guardrails. • Smart nudges: Warnings before you run out, high-five when you stay on plan. Why it works • Removes decision fatigue, your plan runs automatically. • Adds friendly friction right when the urge hits. • Turns a solo struggle into a shared commitment. Privacy first • Built on Apple Screen Time APIs, no VPNs, no creepy tracking. • Your usage stays on device. No ads. Subscription: ScrollBuddy Premium (auto-renewing). Lengths: Monthly and Annual. Prices vary by region and currency. Auto-renew: Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in ScrollBuddy Settings › Cancel Subscription or Delete Account(or through Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions after purchase in your settings app), after purchase. If you’re tired of deleting, reinstalling, and feeling bad, ScrollBuddy gives you a kinder system that wins the long game: so you can focus, sleep on time, and feel calmer about your phone.
