Product context
What LightScroll says it does
Official or maker-supplied product information. It is kept separate from buyer evidence and independent purchase verification.
LightScroll is a screen time app for Mac (and iPhone!).
It helps you take control of distracting apps and websites, whether you're trying to focus on work or just spend less time scrolling.
You choose your limits and how strict you want them to be. That can mean a short pause before opening a distracting app, blocking it once you've used up your time, or asking someone you've invited as an accountability partner for a code to override your limits.
We built LightScroll after trying a lot of what's out there and finding that nothing was quite right for us. We wanted something that felt calm rather than judgmental. You decide how you want to spend your time, and the app helps you stick to it.
It's free to get started, with optional paid features.
