Most app blockers are easy to bypass — Break Scroll makes you earn your screen time through real physical movement. Turn every unlock into a workout. Build discipline, beat screen addiction, and get fit with every rep.\n\n-- The Problem --\nYou open social media for \"one minute\" — and suddenly an hour is gone. That's the dopamine loop. Traditional screen time limits are too easy to ignore. You need a physical \"circuit breaker\" to break the spell.\n\n-- The Solution --\nBreak Scroll is the intentional interceptor for your mindless habits. When you try to open a distracting app, we stop you. To get in, you have to complete a short physical task — like 5 push‐ups or 10 squats. You earn screen time. You earn your focus back. You earn a healthier you.\n\n-- Key Features --\n\nWorkout to Unlock: Sweat before you scroll. Every app unlock costs reps, not coins.\n\nApp Shield: Block Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, and more before the scroll starts. Featuring cute, eye‐catching stickers and thoughtful questions that make you pause before you unlock.\n\n12+ Exercises: Push‐ups, Diamond Push‐ups, Squats, Plank, Jumping Jacks, Walking, High Knees, Bicep Curls, Butt Kicks, Lateral Raises, Knee to Elbow, Toe Touches — and more coming soon!\n\nWorkouts: Curated sets of exercises to keep you physically engaged and earn bigger screen time rewards.\n\nJourney Mode: Turn your fitness into an epic adventure! Explore 5 unique worlds — The Fog, City of Notifications, Mountains of Distraction, Ocean of Endless Scrolling, and Summit of Freedom. Complete levels, defeat mini‐bosses and world bosses, and reclaim your focus one world at a time.\n\nCollectible Badges: Earn beautifully designed, RPG‐style graphic badges as you progress. From the Trailblazer badge for your first Journey level to world‐boss conqueror badges, each one is a unique piece of art you'll want to collect.\n\nXP & Title Ladder: Every rep, every workout, every Journey node earns you XP. Level up from Scroll Apprentice all the way to Eternal Clarity, unlocking prestigious titles that showcase your dedication.\n\nShield Stickers: Customize your lock screen with fun, adorable stickers that make your shield uniquely yours.\n\nUninstall Protection: Enable this to prevent easy bypassing. You can't quit that easily.\n\nSmart Notifications: Gentle reminders to stay mindful of your digital wellbeing.\n\nProgress Tracking: Watch your push‐up count climb — not from a workout plan, but from resisting the urge to scroll.\n\nDopamine Detox: Reset your brain's reward system by adding a healthy \"cost\" to distractions.\n\n-- Why It Works --\nScience shows that a brief physical \"interruption\" can break the trance of mindless scrolling. By the time you finish your push‐ups, the impulse to scroll has usually faded. You're not just blocking apps — you're rewiring your brain.\n\n-- What Users Are Saying --\n\"The only app that actually made me move.\" — Priya K.\n\"I replaced my gym guilt with scroll guilt. Now I'm actually fit.\" — Jake M.\n\nTerms of Use: https://trybreakscroll.web.app/terms/\nPrivacy Policy: https://trybreakscroll.web.app/privacy/\nEULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/","facts":{"developer_id":1884841684,"developer_url":"https://trybreakscroll.web.app","first_released":"2026-04-07T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://trybreakscroll.web.app/support/","privacy_url":"https://trybreakscroll.web.app/privacy/","website_url":"https://trybreakscroll.web.app/","app_version":"1.0.13","release_notes":"We are working to give you the best app experience.\n- Minor Bug Fixes","rating_current_version":4.86667,"rating_count_current_version":30,"star_counts":[1,0,0,0,29],"genres":["Health & Fitness","Productivity"],"languages":["EN","ES"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-11T11:27:12.790Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-05T11:15:12.876Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-05T11:20:13.322Z","placed_at":"2026-11-05T11:45:12.869Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T17:27:12.879Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Blocks distracting apps until you complete a short physical exercise task, such as push-ups or squats, to unlock them.","what_is":"Break Scroll is a Health & Fitness app that blocks apps such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and X.
