Powerful Features for Focus
We don't just block whole websites. We hide the addictive, time-wasting parts so you can use the internet with intention.

The Intelligent Nudge
Sometimes you just need to check a site quickly without losing hours of your day. The Nudge feature acts as your digital conscience, breaking your trance right when you need it.
When it triggers (The Rule of 8)
We quietly keep track of how far you scroll. If you scroll past 8 full screens or watch 8 short videos in a row, we gently interrupt you with a centered popup over a distraction-free blurred background.
What it tells you (Detailed Stats)
Instead of a generic warning, the nudge displays exactly how much time you've spent on the current site alongside your total social media time for the day (synced across all devices using your account key).
You remain in control
You can let the sleek 8-second visual countdown bar run out, or manually dismiss the nudge with a single click—giving you the perfect moment of friction to close the tab and get back to your day.

Advanced Site Locks & Quotas
For when nudges aren't enough. Take strict control of your daily browsing.
PIN-Protected Locks
Sometimes you need to completely block a site to get work done. Set a secure 4-digit PIN to lock any supported platform. Once locked, the site cannot be accessed until you return to the extension, enter your PIN, and manually unlock it.
Daily Minute Quotas
Set a specific daily allowance (e.g., 15 minutes) for sites like Instagram or Reddit. ScrollBlock silently tracks your time. Once your daily quota is exhausted, a hard block screen drops down, preventing further access until tomorrow.
