About this app

Take control of your scrolling with ScrollWise, a digital wellbeing app that helps you reduce endless scrolling and manage distracting short-form content on supported apps.

ScrollWise puts you in control. Choose which platforms and scrolling features to protect, decide how protection works, take a break when you need one, and use Insights to understand your blocking activity and history.

KEY FEATURES

Block scrolling feeds

ScrollWise is designed to block selected short-form and endless-scrolling feeds instead of blocking an entire app. Keep using the useful parts of supported apps while reducing access to the feeds you want to avoid.

Supported platforms

ScrollWise currently supports protection for:

• Instagram Reels
• YouTube Shorts
• Facebook Reels
• TikTok Feed
• Snapchat Spotlight
• X video and reels feed
• WhatsApp Status
• YouTube Music Samples

Choose your protection

You decide which supported platforms and scrolling features to protect. Adjust your protection settings to match your goals and change them whenever you want.

Automatic feed detection

ScrollWise uses Android Accessibility features to detect supported protected feeds when they appear. Protection works on your device and is designed to help you leave distracting feeds without blocking the entire app.

Insights and blocking history

Use Insights to view your blocking data and history. Review your protection activity and see how often you have stepped away from protected feeds.

Attention Fitness

Track your progress with Attention Fitness. ScrollWise uses your blocking activity and usage history to show a simple trend, helping you see whether your progress is improving, stable, or declining.

Take a break when you choose

Need temporary access to a protected feed? Use Break to pause protection for a selected amount of time. When your break ends, protection can resume automatically.

Built around user control

Your scrolling experience is yours to manage. Turn protection on or off, choose the platforms and scrolling features you want to protect, use temporary breaks, and review your activity through Insights.

ScrollWise gives you practical tools to manage distractions and build more intentional scrolling habits—while keeping you in control of your settings and experience.

Privacy-focused, local-first design

ScrollWise is designed with a local-first approach. Feed detection and blocking activity are handled on your device rather than requiring cloud processing of the content you view. Your settings and blocking history are designed to stay on your device.
