Frequently Asked Questions

ScrollOut uses Apple's Screen Time API (Family Controls) to block apps at the system level. Blocked apps show a Screen Time restriction screen instead of opening. The block is enforced by iOS itself — ScrollOut can't be bypassed by deleting the app.
For Pomodoro, Deep Work, and 52/17 sessions, yes — you can cancel at any time. SOS Mode is the exception: once activated, it cannot be cancelled until the timer expires. That's the point.
ScrollOut is free to download with a generous free tier. A Pro subscription unlocks advanced features like custom schedules, detailed analytics, Live Activity, and unlimited SOS sessions. You can start for free — no credit card required.
App blocking on iOS requires Apple's Family Controls framework, which is the official API for Screen Time. Without this permission, ScrollOut cannot block apps. Your usage data stays on-device and is never shared with third parties.
ScrollOut is currently iOS-only. An Android version is on our roadmap. Follow us on Instagram @scrollout to be the first to know when it launches.
All locally stored data (stats, streaks, sessions) is removed when you delete the app. If you're signed in, your account data is stored securely in the cloud and can be restored if you reinstall. You can request full data deletion by emailing support@scrollout.app.
First, make sure Screen Time permission is granted in Settings → Screen Time → ScrollOut. If blocks still aren't working, try restarting the app. If the issue persists, contact us at support@scrollout.app with your iOS version and device model.
Subscriptions are managed through the App Store. Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → ScrollOut → Cancel Subscription. You'll keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period.

📱 Scrolling Addiction Guide

Understand and overcome scroll addiction

🧠

Why you keep scrolling

Apps are engineered to be addictive. The dopamine triggered by every notification, like, or new post creates a reward loop identical to gambling. On average, we check our phones 96 times a day.

Psychology
⚡

The effects on your brain

Excessive scrolling shortens your attention span, increases anxiety, and disrupts sleep. Studies show that 2h+ of social media a day raises the risk of depression by 70% in 18–35 year-olds.

Science
🛡️

How ScrollOut helps you

By blocking access to addictive apps during your sessions, ScrollOut breaks the dopamine loop. After 21 days of use, our users report an average 68% reduction in their screen time.

SOS Mode literally saved me during finals. I activated it, couldn't get back into TikTok, and wrote 8 pages. This app is the only reason I passed.
