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 screen time with a tiny world that grows alongside you.

This is not just another app blocker. You earn your screen time by living your life, and your Mundi lights up every step of the way.

👥 GROUPS: RACE WITH YOUR PEOPLE
Lock the same apps with the people you choose. Friends or family, one pact: apps stay locked until today's effort is done. Move to race ahead as your Mundis orbit the sun. Finish first and throw a challenge, like 20 squats, before others open a blocked app. No punishments, just motivation. Join up to 10 groups free.

🌍 MEET YOUR MUNDI
Your Mundi is a cute little world and your virtual pet companion. It hatches from an egg and it is unique to you. Every minute of real effort fills your daily effort bar. Complete it and your Mundi becomes a star: its coasts glow, its rings shine and your streak keeps burning.
• Level up and unlock 12 rings, from Dust to Legend.
• Customize it with hats, outfits and little buddies from the shop, paid with the minutes you earn.

🏃‍♂️ 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.

Ratings and reviews

I think there could better integration of the heart rate tracking from smartwatches through googles health app. I do a lot of cardio but it's low impact; so while my steps are counted minimally, my heart rate is elevated for prolonged periods of time. While my health app and smartwatch track this data, this app does not seem to utilize that to factor additional time spent exercising. Things like boxing or dance are not accounted for but would seem common enough to be sensible additions.

This is the best app I have ever used i downloaded it a day back and it literally cut my screen time from 7 hours to 3 hours and my body is also showing symptoms of weight loss and my time has been running quite productive and my life is coming in routine

Great app! love it, incredibly useful. my favourite one. I normally delete other apps when I run out of time, but because this one allows phone access through multiple avenues other than walking, gems / ads / saved up time i don't feel the need. I only have some small grievances, I wish I could change the time the day resets, it glitches on tiktok where I leave the comments and it brings up the exit app menu. so in a 10 minute session it might bring it up 4 times which is a bit annoying.
