Definitely see the need for this!

Before downloading and installing, I'm curious how it works. How does it stop doom scrolling on Android?

Thanks for your interest! BlockScroll uses Android's Accessibility API to monitor apps with short video content. It looks for specific patterns in the content and blocks them when detected, helping to minimize distractions.
