Scroll Break
Escape the scrolling trap
$6.99 · Designed for iPad
Feeling stuck in endless scrolls?
Scroll Break helps you break free with simple nudges that can actually work: no blocking, no lectures, no surveillance.
How it works
Set your personal danger zones - the times you're most likely to get pulled into mindless scrolling.
Scroll Break sends silent, text-only notifications with short messages designed to catch your attention and snap you out of it.
Choose your nudge style
Pick from two types of messages:
- Fun Facts – “A group of owls is called a ‘parliament.’ How pretentious.”
- Quirky Prompts – “Quick, picture an orange elephant riding a bike! He just fell off.”
Each one is designed to be just interesting enough to break the trance and just strange enough to make you smile. New messages are added regularly so they stay fresh.
Works wherever you scroll
Scroll Break doesn’t track your activity, so it works anywhere: social media, news sites, TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, or wherever you tend to lose time.
Key features
- 30-second setup
- Privacy-first design - your data stays on your device
- Silent, text-only nudges - no interruptions if you're not on your device
- No app or browser tracking
- One-time purchase - no ads, no subscriptions
- Regular updates with fresh messages
Your privacy matters
Unlike other apps, Scroll Break never monitors your internet activity.
Your data stays on your device and is deleted automatically after 90 days.
The only thing we ever receive is anonymous bug reports to help improve the app.
The science behind it
Studies show that simple, well-timed interruptions can help people regain control from addictive feeds.
If psychology can be used to trap us in endless scrolls, it can also help set us free.
The bottom line
Scroll Break is a tool, not a magic cure.
It's designed to give you little moments of awareness that endless feeds don't want you to have - without any subscriptions, complex settings, or preachy messages.
Use it alone or with other solutions, turn it on when scrolling feels like too much, turn it off when you want a break.
If you buy it, you own it, you control it. And hopefully our messages can make you smile along the way.
