FAQ

Q: How is ScrollGuard different from standard app blockers?

A: Traditional app blockers take an all-or-nothing approach by locking you out of an entire app, which can disrupt your ability to message friends or check important updates. ScrollGuard works with precision by targeting only the addictive short-video formats. Beyond targeted blocking, it offers active anti-scroll interventions, accountability locks, customizable motivational pop-ups, and detailed usage statistics to help you build lasting digital habits.

Q: Will I still be able to use messaging and main feeds on my social media apps?

A: Yes, absolutely. That is the core feature of ScrollGuard. You can seamlessly check your direct messages, respond to group chats, and view traditional posts or news updates without any disruption. Only the short-form video sections, such as Reels and Shorts, are hidden from view.

Q: What happens if I start doom-scrolling out of habit?

A: ScrollGuard features active anti-scroll interventions designed to snap you out of mindless habits. The app continuously monitors feed scrolling, and when it detects you spiraling down an endless feed, it triggers a gentle reality check. This momentary pause gives you a chance to break the dopamine loop and make an intentional choice about how you want to spend your time.
