Descroll for commuters

Read on the ride.

A moving bus is never a Place, so a weekday time block covers the ride. Feeds block when it starts and come back when it ends.

Sound familiar?

  • You sit down with a reading and open a feed first.

  • 50 minutes each way, and you look up at your stop.

  • The ride is the one quiet hour in your day.

The pull comes in the same places and at the same hours. Decide once, and Descroll keeps that decision for you.

Try this setup

One time block, set once.

On Schedule, tap the hour you leave and set it to repeat on weekdays. Write your own line for the block screen in Settings › Block screen.

Descroll+One time block is free. The ride home is a second one with Descroll+, or tap Block now when you sit down.

Why not make the bus a Place?
A Place is a zone you stay inside. A moving bus leaves any zone in seconds, so a time block or Block now is the right fit for the ride.
