About this app

Our brains weren't built for bottomless feeds. Scrolly helps you take back control and live more intentionally.

Scrolly is a small NFC tag and a mindful companion that helps you break the habit of constant scrolling. When you're ready to focus, you simply tap Scrolly to your phone — it instantly blocks the apps that distract you most. To unlock them, you have to tap again. That short physical pause creates a moment of awareness before falling back into old patterns.

Why it works?

Most digital wellbeing tools are hidden behind settings or require self-control in the very moment of temptation. Scrolly changes the environment instead of relying on willpower. The simple act of reaching for a real object creates friction that helps you stay intentional and build sustainable habits.
Many users report saving more than 90 minutes a day — time they can spend on people and activities that actually matter.

How Scrolly works?

• Choose apps to block – Select the ones that consume your time (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.)
• Tap to block distractions – Touch Scrolly to your phone to block chosen apps
• Tap again to unlock – Apps stay locked until you decide to unlock them with another tap
• Stay present – Use the recovered time to focus, study, or simply rest without interruptions

Why Scrolly uses Accessibility API?

Scrolly uses the Android Accessibility API only to detect when selected distracting apps are opened and to temporarily block or redirect them. This permission is required for the app to work as described — without it, Scrolly cannot recognize or control access to those apps.
The Accessibility Service reads only which app is currently in the foreground. It never reads the content of your screen, your messages or anything you type, and it does not collect, store or share keystrokes or sensitive information.
Scrolly does use an account and collects usage data (such as focus sessions, app analytics and crash reports) to provide features like statistics, streaks and rankings. This is described in our Privacy Policy and in the Data safety section on this page.
The Accessibility Service is used exclusively to help users build healthier digital habits and effectively reduce phone overuse.

Ratings and reviews

There are some bugs and glitches. I mostly like it, but it doesn't consistently work. It is on now, but not blocking any apps. I also noticed that if I use a break during a schedule, then it does not turn off at the end of the scheduled time. I have to turn it off manually with the decive. I have been using it for about a month now, and today is the first time it is not blocking anything, even though it is on to the same settings and the timer is running...

A lot of bugs: - i can still watch youTube shorts (the video pops up in front of scrolly block screen) - the 'focus time' at dashboard is different from 'today focus time' in statistics (im in focus mode for 10h now, dashboard says its 2h, statistics says '5h' lol) - for this 10h i got 0 focus coins (why?). Yesterday i got 6focus coins for 14h. There is no explanation why would or wouldn't i get a coin.

Update: The developers helped me and the issue only occurs every few days now, big improvement. If you are willing to pay for a Scrolly, then this is a good way to get your time and attention back. I am definitely spending more time reading books and less time scrolling. I have been recommending Scrolly to others. --- For some reason on my Google Pixel 8a the accessibility permissions keep turning off and I've just learned that when the permissions are off, none of the apps are blocked.
