Questions,
answered.
Everything you might want to know before you start burning.
What is BurnScroll?
BurnScroll is a screen-time control app for iPhone that locks your distracting apps until you burn the calories to earn them back. Instead of relying on willpower, it turns unlocking Instagram or TikTok into a small workout, so scrolling becomes something you earn rather than a default.
Is BurnScroll free?
Yes. BurnScroll is free to download on the App Store for iPhone.
How does BurnScroll work?
Three steps. First, you select the distracting apps you want to block. Second, you burn active calories through any exercise, which converts into screen time — for example, 100 active calories can unlock about 20 minutes. Third, your apps unlock so you can scroll guilt-free with time you actually earned.
Which apps can I block with BurnScroll?
You can block any distracting apps on your iPhone — social media like Instagram and TikTok, games, or anything else. BurnScroll integrates deeply with the Apple Screen Time API to enforce the blocks.
Does BurnScroll work with Apple Health and Apple Watch?
Yes. BurnScroll syncs with Apple Health and Apple Watch to read the active calories you burn, so any workout counts toward unlocking your screen time automatically.
What devices does BurnScroll support?
BurnScroll is an iPhone app and requires iOS 18.6 or later. It works alongside Apple Watch for calorie tracking.
