Non AI-product alert! The average Gen Z will spend 15+ years on their phone - 4x more than with their parents. We believe tech should fight back against addictive apps. That's why we built Scrolly: a funny-looking device that creates physical friction in access to phone to cut screen time How it works: 1. Pick apps to block 2. Tap Scrolly 3. Enjoy focus time Plus a gamified layer to build the habit: group challenges, witty Scrolly comments, and charity donations when you exceed your limit.
Does the physical device stay paired with your phone via Bluetooth, and what happens if you lose it or forget to bring it somewhere?
@samet1061783 It is via NFC chip. You have to scan the device to the top of the phone to block/unblock addictive apps
love that it's a physical device and not another app—finally someone tackling the phone problem from outside the screen. the charity donation angle for exceeding limits is a clever twist that makes the friction feel rewarding instead of punishing.
Thanks a lot. We’re working hard to make the app engaging enough to help users stay motivated and consistently reduce their screen time.
How does the physical unlocking work exactly, do I have to carry Scrolly around with me or is it more of a stationary thing on my desk? Curious how that fits into actually leaving the house.
the tap-to-unlock thing is honestly clever, feels way less annoying than software blockers since you physically have to go find it. group challenges with the charity angle is a nice twist too.
@ksuyak85388 Thanks
