ScrollTax: Earn Screen Time

Most app blockers run on a schedule. ScrollTax runs on a budget. Every 5 minutes in a taxed app costs 1 point, all day, every day. Earn points back by reading, walking, working out, sleeping and more. Hit zero and your apps lock until you earn more. WHY SCROLLTAX · Willpower not required. Blockers you can snooze get snoozed. ScrollTax gives you a budget instead, so the decision is already made. · Scroll without the guilt. Every minute on your phone is one you already earned with a walk, a chapter or a good night's sleep. · No schedules to set or cheat. The tax is always on, so there's no unblocked window to binge in, and nothing to reconfigure when your day changes. · Habits you actually want. Reading, steps, workouts, sunlight and sleep become the way you pay for your phone, so they happen every day. · Tomorrow remembers today. Go over budget and the overage carries into tomorrow as debt. No more "fresh start" binges. · A lock that holds. ScrollTax uses Apple's own Screen Time enforcement. No dismiss button, no three-tap override. Your phone, on a budget. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your apps. Choose the apps to tax with the iOS Screen Time picker: social media, games, news, browsers, anything. 2. Earn tax points. · Reading — 10 min = 1 point · Focus — 10 min = 1 point · Chores — 15 min = 1 point · Work — 60 min = 1 point, tracked by your iPhone Work Focus · Steps — 2,000 steps = 1 point · Workout — 15 min = 1 point · Mindfulness — 10 min = 1 point · Standing — 3 hours = 1 point · Sunlight — 15 min outside = 1 point (Apple Watch) · Sleep — 7+ hours = 2 points, from Apple Health or your Sleep Focus Each source has a daily cap, so no single habit can buy the whole day. 3. Spend your budget. 1 point = 5 minutes in your taxed apps, counted automatically in the background. You also get 30 free grace minutes every day. Hit zero and your apps lock on their own. MEET ZUNŌ A little brain that lives on your Home screen. Its mood follows your balance: bright when you're earning, frazzled when you're scrolling. Poke it, pet it, keep it happy. Prefer a quieter look? Switch to Classic. SESSIONS THAT LOCK Start a Reading, Focus or Chores session and your taxed apps stay locked until you finish. Forgot to stop? The session ends on its own at midnight or after 4 hours. WORK MODE AND SLEEP MODE Add ScrollTax to your iPhone Work or Sleep Focus.
