🎯 Our verdict
StopScroll addresses a specific and well-defined need: regaining control against short videos. Rather than completely blocking apps, the app opens YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Snapchat in a built-in browser that hides Reels, Shorts and TikTok before they capture attention. The three modes — total blocking, daily limit and temporary pause — cover most situations, and platform-specific statistics provide real visibility into habits. The free version lets you test the concept without commitment, while Premium at $7.99/month (or $29.99/year, with free trial) unlocks customizable Break Mode, advanced filters and ad-free experience. The limitations are logical: you depend on the proprietary browser rather than native apps, and the scope remains focused on short video. For those who want to break the scrolling reflex without completely renouncing social networks, it’s a targeted and affordable solution.
