About the App
Scroll Break is a digital wellness app designed to help you take back control of your scrolling habits. By setting up your personal "danger zones" - times when you're most vulnerable to infinite scrolling - Scroll Break will send gentle nudges to help you break the cycle.
At Scroll Break, we put a premium on your privacy and agency. You are our customer, and we'll never serve any ads or vacuum up any of your data. Your personal data stays on your device, and you have complete control over when and how you receive interventions. The only thing that leaves your phone are anonymous error reports that help us squash bugs.
Features
Fast setup
Simplicity is a virtue, which is why Scroll Break takes less than 60 seconds to set up: Just choose your language, message tone, and danger zones. That's it.
Text-only notifications
Scroll Break messages are silent and don't vibrate, so if you're not looking at your phone, you won't notice them. No risk of being disturbed at night, school, or elsewhere.
Privacy first
You don't need another app tracking your every move. So we don't; your personal data stays on your device. We don't collect it, we don't sell it, we don't exploit it.
Affordable
An annual Scroll Break subscription costs about as much as two coffees (or a few more if you're Italian). Not bad for the chance to break free from the algorithms, no?
The Science
The internet giants have poured massive resources into building apps designed to grab your attention and never let go. They hire teams of engineers, researchers, and behavioral scientists whose only goal is to use psychological tactics to keep you scrolling, extracting more and more data to power their profit machines.
But here's the thing: if psychology can trap us in endless feeds, it can also help set us free. Research shows that while extreme measures like site blocking can be effective, sometimes all it takes is a small nudge to snap out of the scrolling trance. Studies have found that simple interruptions—even something as basic as a friendly message—can be surprisingly effective in helping people regain control.
So if something as simple as a well-timed notification can help you step away from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or other places where you tend to get lost scrolling… why not give it a try?
