Break Scroll locks your most distracting apps. The only way to unlock them? Complete real exercises — your camera counts every rep.
Social media apps are engineered to keep you hooked. Willpower alone doesn't work. You need friction.
You open Instagram for "5 minutes" and lose an hour. The algorithm is designed to be unbeatable — until now.
Each notification and scroll gives your brain a dopamine hit, making it harder to focus on real life. The loop needs breaking.
Excessive screen time is linked to reduced focus, poor sleep quality, anxiety, and lower life satisfaction.
No complex settings. No willpower required. Just a new rule: move first, scroll later.
Choose which apps to block — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games. They're locked by default until you earn access.
Open Break Scroll, pick an exercise, and start moving. Your camera counts every rep in real-time. No cheating.
Every rep earns you screen time. More reps = more time. Spend it how you want — then earn again.
Not another screen timer you ignore. Real physical friction that makes you think twice before mindlessly scrolling.
Your device's camera detects your body position in real-time using on-device AI pose detection. It counts every rep automatically — no buttons, no cheating, no data sent to servers. Everything stays on your phone.
Uses Apple's FamilyControls API to actually block apps at the OS level — not just reminders you can dismiss. Your apps stay locked until you've earned it.
Powered by Apple FamilyControlsChoose from curated multi-exercise workout plans across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Auto-advances through exercises with built-in rest timers.

Break Scroll creates a positive feedback loop — the more you move, the better you feel, and the less you want to scroll.
Replacing passive scrolling with short exercise bursts trains your brain to seek real rewards instead of dopamine hits. Your attention span improves week by week.
When your apps are locked by default, you stop reaching for your phone out of boredom. You'll be amazed how much time you reclaim for things that actually matter.
Less mindless scrolling means less comparison anxiety, fewer doom loops, and more presence in your actual life. Your mood improves alongside your fitness.
You don't need to "want" to exercise. The urge to check your phone becomes the motivation. Most users hit hundreds of reps per day without even planning a workout.
From beta testers who helped shape Break Scroll into what it is today.
"I did 200 push-ups on my first day just because I kept wanting to check TikTok. Haven't lost that many calories to scrolling in years."
"Finally something that actually stops me from mindlessly opening Instagram. The camera rep counting is shockingly accurate — no way to fake it."
"Two weeks in and I've done more exercise than the entire last year. My screen time dropped from 6 hours to under 2. This app is wild."
