App Description
Block distracting apps. More time only when your partner says yes.
Scrollmate blocks the apps you keep opening, and hands the snooze button to someone you trust.
Pick the apps that eat your day, set rules for when they are off limits, and connect an accountability partner with an invite code. When a rule kicks in, Scrollmate blocks the app. If you really need more time, you send your partner a request with a photo and a reason. They say yes or no from their own phone.
Free 3-day trial, then a subscription is required. Partners use Scrollmate for free.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps you want to use less
2. Set rules: focus hours, sleep, or a daily budget
3. Invite a partner with a code
4. When a rule is active, Scrollmate blocks the app
5. Need more time? Send a request with a selfie and a reason
6. Your partner approves or denies it from their phone
WHY IT WORKS
Most blockers leave the final decision to you. That sounds fine until you are bored, tired, or twenty minutes deep into a feed, and "ignore for today" is one tap away. Scrollmate adds one step you cannot tap past: another person has to say yes.

PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY
On Android, Scrollmate uses Usage access to see which app is open, and Display over other apps to show the block screen. Strict mode optionally uses an Accessibility service so blocks hold more reliably. These are used only to enforce the rules you set.
Your list of installed apps and your per-app usage stay on your phone. Your partner sees your daily screen time total and the requests you send them. We do not upload contacts and we do not sell data.
