You already have the time.
The average person we built this for scrolls four hours a day. We don't take that away. We tax it, 30 seconds at a time.

Sorry scroll, I've got goals.
Every time you open TikTok, you pay a 30-second step toward one goal. Then it unlocks. The more you scroll, the sooner you finish.
Free to start · 3 skips a day, we're not monsters
Blockers feel like punishment. This feels like a deal.
1 goal
One goal. One finish date.
A language, or your body and mind. Not a streak: a real finish line, and a date that moves every time you pay a step.
Day 12
A receipt you'll actually post.
Every day you get a receipt of what your scrolling paid for. It's made for Stories, not for shame.
How it works
-
01
You open TikTok.
Nothing changes about your phone. Same apps, same icons. You just tap it like always.
-
02
The shield asks for one step.
Learn two new words in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese or Korean, explained in the language you speak. Or 30 seconds of squats, a plank or a breathing reset, shown step by step before the timer starts.
-
03
It unlocks. You scroll.
Fifteen minutes by default, or whatever you set. When it's up, the shield comes back and so does the next step.
-
04
Your finish date moves closer.
Every step is progress toward the one thing you keep putting off. Scroll more, finish sooner. That's the deal.
TikTok
Sorry,
scroll.
scroll.
Pay one step toward Japanese first. It takes 30 seconds.

What's inside
Thirty seconds that actually teach you something.
500
Words that matter.
The 500 most-used words in each language, every one with an example sentence and, where it helps, a tip on the mistake everyone makes.
7
Speak one, learn another.
Meanings and tips come in the language you speak: English, हिन्दी, Español, Français, Deutsch, 日本語 or 한국어. Speak French, learn Japanese. Speak Hindi, learn English.
2 words
Two words, then tell them apart.
Each step teaches two new words and then quizzes you on both. Words people mix up, like borrow and lend, arrive together so you learn the difference.
🐢
Hear every word.
Every word and example sentence has its own audio in a native accent. It starts slow for beginners; switch to normal or fast right next to the word.
7 moves
Explained before you start.
Squats, pushups, wall sits, planks, shoulder rolls, eye resets and box breathing. Ten seconds to read how and get in position, then the timer runs. No camera.
↺
Everything you've learned, kept.
Your words, grouped by the day you learned them, with audio and examples to revise. Every move logged with its time.
The math
Do the math on your scrolling.
Slide to how many hours you scrolled last week. This is the same projection the app shows you before it asks for a cent.
At that rate you'd open your blocked apps about 17 times a day.
You'd know 500 words of a new language by
18 Dec
or 500 active minutes by21 Dec
Assumes you pay a step on 7 of 10 opens and recall most words. Scroll more, finish sooner.
Every day, every week
A receipt for your attention.
The app prints what your scrolling paid for: every move, every word, every unlock. One tap shares it to your Story. Your screen time and app opens stay in a card only you see.
- Every move or word you paid with
- Apps unlocked and scrolling earned
- Screen time and opens: private, never shared

Fair questions.
Does it actually block the apps?
Yes. Sorry Scroll uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks, the same system behind iPhone's own app limits. The shield is drawn by iOS, not by a trick that a swipe can dismiss.
What if I need the app right now?
You get three free skips a day, and you choose how long each unlock lasts. It's meant to feel like a deal, not a prison. Delete it any time and the shield goes with it.
Does it use my camera?
No. Every move is explained first, then runs on a 30-second timer that only counts while the app is open. No camera, no microphone.
Which goals can I pick?
Learn a language (English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese or Korean, 500 words each, with audio for every word and sentence) or Body & mind: squats, pushups, wall sits, planks, shoulder rolls, eye resets and box breathing, each explained before a 30-second timer starts.
I don't speak English. Can I still use it?
Yes. Pick the language you speak (English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese or Korean) and every meaning, example translation and tip comes in that language. The app's buttons are in English for now.
Does my receipt show how much I scrolled?
Only to you. The receipt you share shows what you paid: moves, words and unlocks. Screen time and how often you opened each app sit in a private card below it that never leaves your phone.
Do you see what I watch or how long I scroll?
No. Which apps you block and how often the shield appears stay on your phone. Apple never hands that data to us.
Android?
iPhone first. Android depends on the iPhone version paying for it. Join the waitlist and pick Android; we'll tell you the moment it's real.
Be first to make your scroll pay.
