About this app

Doomscrolling steals hours. DoomLock gives them back.

DoomLock is an app blocker that watches how you actually use social media, not just how long an app is open. Message friends, read an article, watch one video: nothing happens. But when you've been mindlessly scrolling a feed past your limit, DoomLock steps in: a full-screen warning with a countdown, and if you keep scrolling, the app is closed and locked (10 minutes by default).

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps that pull you in (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Reddit, X, …)
• DoomLock detects real, active scrolling, tuned per app for short-video feeds like Reels and Shorts vs. text feeds
• Cross your limit → countdown warning → keep going and the app closes and locks
• 3 free "Stop now" escapes a day; after those, the lock-out applies
• Lock all your selected apps at once, so you can't just switch to another feed
• Calmer mornings: DoomLock notices when you wake up from your phone's own unlock pattern (no alarm needed), so the first social app you open in the morning asks "really?", with a pause first

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
DoomLock uses Android's AccessibilityService API to provide its core feature: detecting when you are actively scrolling inside the apps you choose to limit.
• It reads only which of your selected apps is in the foreground, and whether scrolling or typing is happening in it, so it can measure your active scrolling time, show the warning, and close or pause that app.
• It does not read screen content, messages or passwords.
• Android delivers events only from the apps you select, never from your bank, email or any other app.
• All processing happens on your device. DoomLock collects no data, stores nothing off your device, and shares nothing with anyone.
You are shown a clear explanation and asked for consent before this permission is requested, and you can turn it off at any time in Android Settings > Accessibility.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No internet permission, the app is technically unable to send data anywhere
• Accessibility access is restricted by Android to only the apps you select
• No screen-content reading, no analytics, no ads, no account

FREE & PRO
The free plan covers up to 2 apps, enough to tame your worst time sinks.
DoomLock Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription) that unlocks unlimited apps.

Less screen time without streaks, gamification or guilt. Just a firm hand on your shoulder at the moment you need it.

What’s new

NoScroll is now DoomLock! Same app, new name.
• Morning check-in is reliable again: glancing at your phone during the night no longer uses it up
• No internet permission again: a Google library had quietly added it; DoomLock can't send data anywhere
• Occasionally asks if you'd like to rate the app on Google Play
