ScrollBump is a doomscroll break app designed to reduce mindless screen time by adding brief, intentional “friction” pauses before you keep going. Instead of a traditional blocker, it nudges you to put the phone down with short, annoying unskippable break reminders triggered by your app usage.

You can tailor the experience with schedules and rules that fit your day. Allow scrolling when it makes sense (like a commute), while tightening access during focus blocks at home or during study time—using location-based and time-of-day logic.

ScrollBump also supports accountability through partners you can invite to help keep screen time goals on track. It’s built to work with a wide range of apps, so you can target the platforms you actually find distracting.

How does ScrollBump stop doomscrolling?

It inserts short, annoying unskippable breaks based on your screen time and app usage. Those pauses interrupt automatic scrolling and create a moment to decide whether to continue.

Can I allow scrolling for some situations, like commuting?

Yes. ScrollBump supports location-based and schedule-based break rules, so you can loosen limits in specific contexts (such as your commute) while tightening them elsewhere.

Does ScrollBump work with specific apps like Instagram or TikTok?

Yes. You can add apps you want to manage, including Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, and YouTube, and include as many as you need.

Can I set different rules for different days and times?

Yes. The app provides time-of-day scheduling so you can apply different break behavior across work hours, evenings, or study sessions.

Is there a way to add accountability with others?

Yes. You can invite friends or family as accountability partners to help keep you aligned with your screen time goals.

Is there an Android version?

An Android app is available for partners only, while the main ScrollBump experience is for iPhone.
