YScroll: Take Control of Your Time

YScroll is a smart mobile app designed to help you stop endless scrolling on short-form videos, starting with YouTube Shorts. Say goodbye to losing hours mindlessly scrolling and regain control of your time and focus.

Why YScroll?
Scrolling can be addictive, but it doesn’t have to control your day. YScroll sets gentle but effective boundaries to help you enjoy content without wasting your time.

YScroll isn’t about blocking everything or being extreme, it’s about helping you develop healthy scrolling habits while still enjoying your favorite short-form videos.

Take control. Stop endless scrolling. Be productive.

Accessibility Permission

YScroll uses the Android Accessibility Service to detect when the user is watching short-form content such as YouTube Shorts or TikTok. This allows the app to measure scrolling time and redirect the user when a daily limit is reached.

The Accessibility Service is used only for:
• Detecting short-form video usage
• Tracking scrolling time
• Redirecting the user when the limit is reached

YScroll does NOT collect personal data, does NOT read private messages, and does NOT store browsing activity. All processing happens completely on the device.

The accessibility permission is optional and can be turned off at any time in the device settings.

Ratings and reviews

Sanyi, the app is great, I love how it automatically closes the app when timer hits its limit. The problem I'm having with the app is that I have to enable permissions every time after the session ends. It would be more cooler if you make it to work on Instagram, Facebook and any other addictive scrolling app.

I’m honestly impressed by this app. It respects the limits you set and enforces them effectively—especially in focus mode, where nothing gets through. That level of control is rare. I’d highly recommend it to anyone struggling with endless scrolling. This is truly great work.

Nice, but if you could include other apps also like facebook, Instagram and so on. If possible add a feature to choose which apps to block.

Take control of your time and stay focused!
