ScrollBump is positioned as an app to "break the habit of mindless phone scrolling." Its core idea is to schedule brief, deliberately "annoying," and unskippable rest reminders when users have been using phone apps for a long time, prompting them to actively put down their phones.
[Main capabilities]
- Annoying rest reminders: pop up brief rest prompts based on screen time, serving as a "push" to put down the phone.
- Supports any app: you can add any number of apps such as Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, YouTube, and set rules separately for each.
- Location and schedule rules: you can set different rest rules by location and schedule, for example allowing phone scrolling on the commute while staying focused at home; different rules can also be used on different days.
- Accountability partners: you can invite friends or family to join and provide oversight around screen-time goals.
- Other features: blocking and hiding, free scheduling of daily time periods, free rule locking, stay-in-app locking, custom shields, rule copying, and stability fixes.
[How to use] According to official information, users can add rules for target apps, and the app triggers brief, unskippable rest periods based on usage; rules can be adjusted with location and schedule conditions; others can also be invited as accountability partners. The Android app is available for partners; other platforms, installation methods, and specific operating steps are not yet provided.
[Applicable scenarios] Suitable for users who want to reduce mindless phone scrolling, want to adopt different restriction strategies in different situations (such as commuting and at home), and are willing to manage screen time with the help of others' oversight.
