Treat your screen time like a budget

No complicated rules. A daily allowance, short sessions, and a hard stop.

Set your daily budget

Pick the apps that eat your time and decide how many minutes per day you allow yourself. 30 minutes? An hour? It's your call.

Unlock in fixed sessions

Want to check Instagram? Open ScrollCut and unlock your apps for a fixed session. When the timer ends, everything locks again automatically.

Budget spent? See you tomorrow.

No snooze, no “just 5 more minutes”. Once your daily budget is used up, your apps stay locked until the next day.

Add some friction before every unlock

A small challenge between you and your feed is enough to break the autopilot. Pick the one that suits you.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when my budget runs out?

Your selected apps stay locked for the rest of the day. Your budget resets the next day, so you start fresh.

Which apps can I limit?

Any app on your iPhone. You choose which ones count toward your budget: social networks, games, video apps…

Is the friction mandatory?

No. Frictions are optional: add a challenge before unlocking if you want an extra barrier, or skip it.

Is my data private?

Yes. ScrollCut uses Apple's Screen Time framework: your usage data never leaves your device and we can't access it.

How much does it cost?

ScrollCut offers a Premium subscription with a 3-day free trial. You can cancel anytime from your Apple account settings.
