Strengths and weaknesses
ScrollCop
- A friend can hold the key, so blocks actually stick
- Free with no subscription, no ads and no account
- Never learns which apps you block
- iPhone only, with no Android or desktop version
- Blocks whole apps, so it can't block only Reels or Shorts
ScrollCop blocks the apps and sites that eat your time using Apple's Screen Time, so blocked apps really disappear and stay blocked even if you close ScrollCop. Every block starts with nobody able to end it early, and its best idea is the key: a friend can hold a one-time PIN, so you can't quietly end a block at midnight. Daily schedules, an SOS button for urges and short Boredom Gym exercises round it out. It is iPhone-only, but free with no subscription.

It won iPhone App of the Year at the 2025 App Store Awards. The free version is limited, and Pro is needed for the web planner.
