Squats to Scroll
How does the blocking actually work?
You choose which apps to guard. When you open one, Squats to Scroll asks for a few bodyweight squats — counted on your device by the camera — and then lets you into that app for 15 minutes before it locks again. Nothing about your camera or app list leaves your phone.
The blocker isn't stopping my apps. What's wrong?
The blocker needs two Android permissions to work. If either is off, nothing will be blocked. In your device Settings, make sure both are enabled for Squats to Scroll:
The app will also show a reminder on its home screen if one of these switches is off — tap it to jump straight to the right settings page.
Do I have to use my camera?
No. The camera is optional and runs entirely on your device — frames are analyzed for the squat count and immediately discarded, never stored or uploaded. If you'd rather not use it, a tap-to-count option works instead.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Open the Google Play Store app → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Squats to Scroll → Cancel subscription. If you cancel before your 7-day free trial ends, you won't be charged. (On iOS, manage subscriptions in your Apple ID settings.)
How much does it cost?
Squats to Scroll has a free tier. Premium is $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Blocking apps is free for everyone — premium adds extras, never the core feature.
Can I get a refund?
Subscription refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. If you run into trouble, email us and we'll do our best to help.
How do I turn blocking off?
You can disable blocking inside the app at any time, or revoke its permissions (usage access / display over other apps) in your device settings. You're always in control.
