ScrollBlock: Focus Mode for Social Media

ScrollBlock is a browser extension designed to stop endless scrolling and manage your time on social media. It works by removing addictive UI elements and enforcing strict daily time limits.

UI Cleanup (The Hard Block)
ScrollBlock removes "distraction engines" from your favorite platforms:

👉🏻uTube: Hides all Shorts from the sidebar. Shorts are restricted to prevent infinite scrolling; you can only watch selected shorts. It also removes the mobile Shorts button and automatically redirects Shorts links to the standard, distraction-free video player.

👉🏻Insta: Completely hides the Reels button and the "Explore" page. You can still view posts from friends and saved items without falling into an infinite feed.

👉🏻FB: Removes Reels tabs and links from the interface.

👉🏻The Intelligent Nudge
ScrollBlock monitors your usage in real-time. If you scroll past 8 full screens or watch 8 short videos in a row, the extension interrupts your session with a friendly reminder. This popup displays your total screen time for the day, synced across all devices where you have added your account key.
(Note: You need an account key to sync time from multiple devices; without it, we cannot show you your total time.)

Almost all blockers remove Shorts and Reels, but no other blocker works on main feeds. We achieved this by introducing nudges; once you start scrolling the main feed on any social media site, popup messages will restrain you from scrolling further.

Advanced Site Locks & Quotas
For when you need strict boundaries:

👉🏻PIN-Protected Locks: Lock any supported platform behind a 4-digit PIN. Once locked, the site cannot be accessed until you return to the extension settings and manually unlock it.

👉🏻Daily Minute Quotas: Set a daily time limit (e.g., 15 minutes) for specific sites. Once your daily quota is exhausted, ScrollBlock displays a hard-block screen, preventing further access until the next day.

Note: We work on a total of 9 social media platforms, including all the major addictive, time-wasting sites.
