ScrollGuard – Block Reels, Shorts & Stop Scrolling 🚫
ScrollGuard is a productivity app designed to help you stop wasting time on addictive short-form videos and endless feeds. Whether it’s Reels, Shorts, or doom-scrolling, ScrollGuard helps you regain your focus, reduce screen time, and improve your digital wellbeing so you can spend more time on what truly matters.

Why ScrollGuard? 🤔
Short-form videos, Reels, Shorts, and infinite feeds are designed to keep you hooked, leading to increased screen time, distractions, and lost productivity. Most app blockers cut you off from entire apps, making it hard to stay connected while avoiding the real problem: doom-scrolling. ScrollGuard takes a smarter approach: it lets you reduce screen time and use social media in a mindful, balanced way by disabling only the addictive content, not the entire app.

Key Features 🌟
- Disable Reels & Shorts Without Blocking the App: Instantly block Shorts and Reels on popular platforms, while keeping messaging and other core features available.
- Anti-Scroll Mode: If you scroll for too long, a customizable popup prompts you to pause for a minute or quit instantly. All settings are fully customizable per app.
- Strict Mode with Accountability: Protect your settings with a password. Share the password with an accountability partner to help you stay committed to your time management goals.
- Custom Break Messages: Personalize the popup with your own motivational reminders for extra encouragement.
- Pause, With Limits: Easily pause protection for planned exceptions, with safeguards to prevent endless pausing.
- Usage Statistics: You can only improve what you can measure. Track your daily screen time within ScrollGuard to help you reduce screen time and set better goals.
