About

LightScroll is a screen time management app for iOS and macOS that adds deliberate pauses between you and distracting apps and websites. You set limits on specific apps or sites, then choose how much friction to add: custom friction options like delays or confirmations, Hardcore Mode to prevent impulsive changes, or complete blocking with zero allowed time. You can also invite friends as accountability partners and join challenges together to stay motivated.

The basic free plan lets you set up to two controls with standard friction options and the ability to override limits. The Plus plan unlocks unlimited controls, timed goals that end after a set duration or date, custom friction configurations, Hardcore Mode to lock down your controls, zero-time blocking, and the option to disable overrides entirely.

LightScroll is a screen time control app for iOS and macOS that puts a deliberate pause between you and distracting apps and sites. The free tier lets you set up to two controls with unlimited accountability partners, while the paid Plus plan offers unlimited controls, custom friction settings you configure per app, Hardcore Mode to lock down controls against impulsive changes, and the ability to block apps entirely or disable override options. You can set controls to end after a duration or on a specific date, and choose whether to allow some usage or prevent all access during active controls.

Problem: Distracting apps and websites pull attention away from what matters, and willpower alone often fails when temptation strikes.
Solution: LightScroll adds deliberate pauses and friction to app access, lets you lock down controls to prevent impulsive changes, and enables accountability through friend challenges.
