Frequently Asked Question

What is NoScroll?

NoScroll is a powerful focus and productivity app designed to block addictive short-form videos like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and more — across 15+ popular platforms — helping you regain control of your time and attention.

How does NoScroll work?

NoScroll leverages Android’s accessibility features to intelligently detect when you’re doomscrolling short videos. Based on your settings, it will instantly force-close the Shorts or Reels video player, so you can continue using your favorite apps without distractions — staying focused and in control.

I have enabled NoScroll, but why am I still able to see short videos in the feed in supported apps?

NoScroll doesn’t remove or hide short videos from your feed. Instead, it blocks the video from playing once you click on it or disables scrolling, depending on your chosen settings. If you’re on the Curious or Paused plan, these allow temporary access to watch short videos before blocking resumes.

Why does the NoScroll accessibility service keep stopping?

Some device manufacturers—especially those with MIUI OS (like Xiaomi and Poco)—limit background app activity to save battery or for other reasons. This can sometimes interfere with NoScroll’s functionality. If you experience issues, please follow the steps in this video to Restart the NoScroll Accessibility Service and ensure smooth operation.

Why did NoScroll suddenly stop working on my favorite app?

NoScroll may stop working temporarily if your favorite app changes its layout or interface in an update, affecting how we detect and block short videos. As a workaround, you can try downgrading the app to an earlier version—just avoid very old versions that might have security risks or compatibility issues. We’re actively updating our detection algorithms and will notify you through in-app messages or other channels when support is restored. Please note, since we don’t have access to the app’s source code, keeping up with every change can be challenging, so continuous support for all apps cannot be guaranteed.

Is the NoScroll app safe? My device shows a security warning due to the accessibility service.

Yes, NoScroll is completely safe and secure to use. The security warning appears because NoScroll requires accessibility service permission to detect and block short videos effectively. While some devices flag accessibility services as a security risk, this is a standard precaution and does not mean the app is unsafe. NoScroll respects your privacy and does not collect personal data. If you have any concerns or need help, our support team is always here for you.

Can I use NoScroll alongside other productivity or parental control apps?

Yes! NoScroll is designed to work smoothly with most productivity, parental control, and digital wellness apps. However, running multiple blockers simultaneously may cause conflicts, so we recommend testing and adjusting settings accordingly.

Will NoScroll drain my battery faster?

NoScroll is optimized for efficiency and runs quietly in the background without significant battery impact, so you can stay focused without worrying about power drain.

Can I temporarily disable blocking without uninstalling the app?

Absolutely. You can pause or disable blocking anytime from within the app without uninstalling, giving you full control over when and how NoScroll operates.

How often do you update the app and add new platform support?

We regularly update NoScroll to improve performance, add features, and expand platform support — often driven by user feedback and emerging trends.

What should I do if NoScroll isn’t blocking videos properly?

Try restarting the NoScroll Accessibility Service or rebooting your device. If the problem persists, reach out to our support team with details so we can assist promptly.

Can I suggest new platforms or features?

Definitely! We welcome user feedback to help shape future updates. You can submit suggestions directly through the app or via our support channels.

Is my lifetime subscription still valid if I switch devices or reinstall the app?

Yes! If you purchase a lifetime subscription through Google Play, your subscription is tied to your Google account—not your device. This means you can reinstall NoScroll or switch to a new Android device and restore your lifetime subscription by signing in with the same Google account you used to purchase it.

Sweet Words From Users

No Scroll: Transforming Thousands of Lives by Conquering Scrolling Addiction

This app is exactly what I needed! I have been addicted to YouTube Shorts for what feels like forever, but now, I can finally stop! I love how quietly this app works. It never interferes with anything other than Shorts, and sometimes I forget it's there! Although, I would like to not see them in my recommended page, but I still really like how it would automatically stop Shorts from being played, which is already helping. This app is a lifesaver!

I LOVE it. It has helped me get my precious time back, and spend it on things I really like. The premium version is worth the purchase even if it just to support the developers

I have been thinking several days to minimize shorts scrolling for my child. This app is working very good. Not only helped my child but also me to come out of youtube shorts addiction. I installed this app in all phones in my family..

Simple Does what it states Blocking shorts and reels. Have provided me mental peace after blocking shorts and reels. Watching them uncontrollably drained my brain. And now I am used to not watching them. If something is bit important to watch then I can get a break from this for 5-15 minutes Great!! : ))

Any shorts blocker couldn't be better. This app ofcourse blocks shorts and reels, but also doesn't malfunction. The best thing about this app is, the break feature which enables optional scrolling for 5-15 minutes after a hard day. Props to the devloper and the team
