About this app

Stop mindless scrolling. Start living.

Break free from phone addiction and stop brain rot with DontRot: the digital wellbeing app that turns your self-control and real-life activity into your screen time.

This is not just another app blocker. You earn your screen time by living your life.

🏃‍♂️ 10+ WAYS TO EARN SCREEN TIME
In DontRot, access is earned, not given. Turn real-world effort into digital freedom:
• Walk: our integrated pedometer tracks your steps 24/7. Every step counts.
• Exercise: do push-ups, squats, high plank or crunches validated in real time by the smart AI camera.
• Run or cycle: we track your route with GPS and your distance becomes screen time.
• Read, meditate or journal: Pomodoro-style focus sessions that reward calm, offline time.
• Complete your daily tasks: check off your to-do list and earn time for getting things done.
• Drink water, touch grass: validated by our AI camera.

Block brain rot apps (social media, games, endless video) and open them only with the time you've earned.

Move your body. Unlock your phone. Stop doomscrolling.

🎯 GOALS: PUT YOUR APPS ON THE LINE
Set personal goals and, if you dare, lock your blocked apps until you complete them. No goal, no scrolling. The strongest commitment tool for building discipline.

🧍 POSTURE GUARD
Scrolling slouched in bed? DontRot can require you to hold your phone at eye level while using blocked apps. Sit up straight or the screen locks. Your neck will thank you.

🏦 THE TIME BANK: BUILD YOUR PROGRESS
Your effort is never wasted. Unused screen time is saved automatically at midnight in your Time Bank. Save it for special occasions, manage your weekend usage, and climb the ranks as your balance grows. No punishment, just rewarding habits.

🌟 DONTROT KEY FEATURES

Today is my first time using this app and so far I really like it. it doesn't feel like something I'll drop soon but I also find it annoying that it keeps asking me to give it permission to my accessibility which I already have given. I first fixed it by closing the app turning off the permission and following the prompt again unfortunately it started asking for me to do it again.
