This repository

This is the community home for Scroll Less. It is where you help shape the app.

Features

Your scroll distance, in meters

Every swipe adds up. Scroll Less converts those pixels into real-world distance so you can feel the scale.

  • Daily scroll distance in meters and kilometers
  • Per-app scroll breakdowns, so you know where it all goes
  • Calibrate with a credit card for real-world accuracy

Your habits, made visible

Scroll Less watches how you use your phone and turns it into patterns you can actually understand.

  • Accurate screen time and per-app usage, built from the system's own event stream
  • Morning routines, late night patterns, and everything in between
  • Daily goals and weekly insights into your behavior

Gentle boundaries that stick

Set daily caps on any app, or on a whole group of apps that share one allowance.

  • Detects doomscrolling, late night sessions, and app hopping
  • Bundle apps like "Social Media" under a single shared limit
  • A calm full-screen blocking screen when a limit is reached
  • Snooze when you need to, but each snooze gets shorter

And more

  • Post Box: batches distracting notifications into calm, scheduled digests so a buzz does not start a scroll
  • Daily journeys: a clean timeline of your day's app activity
  • Badges and streaks: positive reinforcement designed to serve your goals
  • Expressive theming: dynamic color on Android 12 and up, and a true-black OLED mode
  • Backup and restore: export and re-import your data and history

Design

Built end to end on Material 3 Expressive, with physics-based motion, expressive shapes, and a seed-based color engine. The visual language follows a documented design system covering color, typography, spacing, motion, and accessibility, with a friendly and supportive tone throughout. Your data never leaves your device.

Permissions

Scroll Less explains every permission in-app and asks only for what its features need:

  • Usage access: lets Scroll Less see which apps you use and for how long, so your dashboard stays accurate.
  • Accessibility service: lets Scroll Less measure how far you scroll and keep your limits running smoothly.
  • Display over other apps: shows a gentle on-screen nudge, or the blocking screen, when you have been scrolling a while. Without it, notifications are used instead.
  • Notification access: counts your notifications and shows you where the noise comes from. Their content is never read.
  • Battery optimization exemption: keeps Scroll Less running reliably in the background.
