I realized I was spending way too much time on short-form content like Shorts, Reels, and TikToks, which severely impacted my attention span and felt like brain rot. To tackle this, I built BlockScroll, an app now available on the Play Store. It blocks shorts, reels, TikToks, and similar distractions without affecting other app features, helping enhance focus and reclaim your time.
After building a Chrome extension to fight distractions [(30K+ users): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/remove-youtube-shor...], I realized mobile is where short content fuels the most brain rot. So, after months of work, I built BlockScroll for mobile using Android (Java/Kotlin) and Accessibility APIs.
I’d love your feedback on functionality, UX, and ideas for improvement!
