Scrolly
A physical device to fight phone and social media addiction
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.
We built Scrolly because we saw a real, personal problem many of us struggle with every day: the endless scroll. Phones and social apps aren’t just distractions - they’re designed to overstimulate our brain’s dopamine system, keeping us constantly seeking more content without real satisfaction. Over time, this “wanting without completion” quietly drains focus, presence, and enjoyment of everyday life.
That’s where “Stop Scrolling. Start Living.” comes from. It’s not just a motto for us - it’s the reason Scrolly exists. We genuinely want to help people regain control of their attention and spend more time on what actually matters to them.
Most screen-time tools and app blockers are easy to bypass. We wanted something that actually works in real life. That led us to a physical approach: a simple device paired with an app that creates a real barrier. When your phone is in focus mode, distracting apps are blocked until you intentionally choose to unlock them by tapping Scrolly to your phone again, making mindless scrolling much harder - especially for kids.
Our process evolved through constant iteration and feedback. Early on, we realized the solution had to be more than software. It needed to be easy to use, difficult to work around, and supportive rather than punishing. That insight shaped Scrolly into a physical habit-building companion designed for families, parents, and anyone who wants a healthier relationship with their phone.
