Scroll less.
Learn a little.
Live more.

Not really. A blocker shuts the door. Bouncer asks one easy question first, then lets you choose: go in for a few minutes, or walk away. When you want the door fully closed, Sleep Time, Focus and Exam Mode do that too.

No. The question is a pause, not a game: about 10 seconds, then you choose. Most people come to scroll less and learn a little on the way. There are no leaderboards and nothing to grind.

Yes. Most people pick Quick and easy: fun facts, new words and quick maths, about 10 seconds each. There's also Useful for work, or any topic you like.

Yes. On a chat app like Instagram, a quick pass opens it for 3 minutes with no question, up to 3 times a day. It never works during Sleep Time, Focus or Strict Mode, and it never adds to your limits. Calls and SMS are never guarded.

No. ScrollBouncer only sees which app is open, so it knows when to step in. It never reads your screen, messages, notifications, browsing or what you watch. It does send anonymous events such as “question answered”, without which apps you use. The details are in our privacy policy.

You see the right answer with a short explanation, then another question. No lecture. Or tap Not now and get on with your day. The ones you miss come back later as a quick review.

The app is in English, Tamil and Hindi. Maths, aptitude and general knowledge questions can be shown in Tamil or Hindi too, and any answer can be explained in plain words in all three. Translations need the internet the first time.

Yes. Guarding, routines, the built-in packs, downloaded exam packs and your stats all work offline, and you don't need an account. You need the internet only to download exam packs and for the AI help: your own topics, simpler explanations and translations.

It's your phone, so you can always turn Bouncer off, unless you switch on Strict Mode. Then it can't be uninstalled, routines only get stricter, and changing the date or time doesn't help. No app on Android can block everything, but Strict Mode makes it more effort than the scroll is worth.

You can, but it won't get you in faster. The answers are shuffled every time, so “it's always C” doesn't work. After a wrong answer, the next question waits a few seconds so you can read why, and after two misses in a row Bouncer offers Not now first.

No. Opening Instagram 20 times doesn't make the questions easier; the lock just tells you how many times you've opened it today. Only late at night, from 11 PM to 5 AM, are questions kept light, unless you chose the Strict style.

A copy gets the same question. Copies from apps like Parallel Space, or named “WhatsApp 2”, are caught by themselves. A Dual Apps copy runs where Bouncer can't see, so you tick the app in Protection once; after that, when an app Bouncer can't see stays open for a few seconds, it asks as if it were that app. In Strict Mode this can't be switched off.

In ScrollBouncer, go to Settings, then Strict Mode. Start the wait you picked (1, 6 or 24 hours), then turn it off. Or answer 10 questions and get 8 right to turn it off at once. The app shows these steps in English, Tamil and Hindi before you switch it on.

Set it up with them, not for them. Our page for parents explains what it can and can't do, and how under-18 mode keeps everything on the phone.

Usage access, to know which app is open. Display over other apps, to show the question. Notifications, for reminders. Strict Mode also asks for device admin, used only to stop the app being uninstalled while it's on. This version doesn't use Android's Accessibility service.

Yes. The free plan is free forever: guard 3 apps, every built-in and exam pack, 1 topic of your own, routines, your stats and basic Strict Mode. Pro is optional at ₹79 a month or ₹499 a year, and you see the exact renewal price and date before you pay.

Android 8 and newer. Some phones stop background apps to save battery, so the app walks you through the battery setting that keeps Bouncer awake. There's no iPhone version yet.
