ScrollLess counts the Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts you watch and measures how long you spend scrolling. All of that information is stored only on your device. The only data that ever leaves your phone is an anonymous crash report if the app crashes.
ScrollLess uses Android's Accessibility API as its core functionality. The accessibility service observes the Instagram and YouTube screens to detect when a new Reel or Short is displayed and to measure how long those screens are visible. For every other application the service only receives the package name of the window that came to the foreground, which it uses to stop its timers; the content of other apps is never read. The service does not perform actions on your behalf, does not capture screenshots and does not record what you type.
You enable and disable this service yourself in Android Settings → Accessibility. ScrollLess shows a disclosure explaining this use before sending you there.
Everything is kept in the app's private storage (a local SQLite database). It is not backed up to any server by ScrollLess. You can delete today's data or all data at any time from Settings inside the app, and uninstalling the app removes everything.
Crash reports only. ScrollLess uses Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC) to collect crash reports so that bugs can be fixed. A crash report contains a stack trace, the app version, device model, operating-system version, free memory/disk at the time, and a Crashlytics installation identifier. It never contains screen content, your counts, or any account information. Crashlytics' handling of this data is described in Firebase's privacy documentation. Crash reporting is disabled in debug builds.
ScrollLess does not use analytics, advertising SDKs, or any account system, and does not sell or share data with third parties.
The floating counter is drawn by the accessibility service itself, so ScrollLess does not request the "Display over other apps" permission. It does not request location, contacts, storage, camera, microphone, phone or notification permissions.
ScrollLess is not directed at children under 13 and knowingly collects no personal information from anyone.
