Take back control of your screen time and crush your productivity goals with ScrollDiet!

ScrollDiet is a digital well-being companion designed to help you break social media scrolling habits, block addictive short-form video feeds, and stay focused on what truly matters.

KEY FEATURES:

SELECTIVE SHORT-FORM VIDEO BLOCKING
Tired of opening social media only to get sucked into endless vertical scrolls? ScrollDiet lets you selectively block YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Watch standard informative videos and message friends freely—but as soon as you open a Short or Reel, ScrollDiet automatically takes you back to help you resist the swipe.

REAL-TIME SCREEN TIME LIMITS
Set custom daily limits for social apps like Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, and more. When your limit is reached, a motivational blocker page appears, helping you step away and reclaim your attention.

PRODUCTIVITY FOCUS TIMER & TASKS
Stay on track with a built-in Pomodoro focus timer. Create tasks, set custom study durations, and get gentle alarm reminders to help you work efficiently and take structured breaks.

FLOATING COMPANION BUBBLE
Keep your limits in view. A small, floating overlay bubble shows your remaining limit or active focus countdown while you use other apps.

100% OFFLINE & PRIVACY-FIRST
We believe your data belongs to you. ScrollDiet works completely offline. We do NOT collect, upload, or share your screen time, app history, or personal data. Everything is kept safely on your device.

IMPORTANT PERMISSION EXPLANATIONS:

To deliver its core app-blocking and habit-breaking features, ScrollDiet requires the following Android permissions:

1. ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE (Accessibility API):
We use the Accessibility Service to detect when you are actively viewing YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels screens. If your Reels/Shorts daily limit is exceeded, the service performs a global "Back" action to exit the video player layout. The service runs locally and never collects, captures, or transmits any of your screen contents, interactions, or private data.

2. USAGE ACCESS (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS):
Required to check which monitored application is in the foreground and track daily usage in seconds. This allows ScrollDiet to trigger the blocker page exactly when your daily limit is reached.

3. DISPLAY OVER OTHER APPS (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW):
Used to display a full-screen block screen over restricted apps once their time limit is reached, and to show the floating timer companion bubble.

Reclaim your focus today. Download ScrollDiet and start your screen time diet!
