Stop the rot.Reclaim your time.

ScrollRot locks the apps that eat your day once your daily allowance is gone. The only way back in is to move: push-ups or squats, counted by the camera on your iPhone.

ScrollRot welcome screen: Stop the rot. Reclaim your time. A Today panel shows 30 of 30 minutes used, apps locked, and 20 squats buying 10 minutes.

Be honest. You open an app to check one thing, and forty minutes later you’re still there. An endless feed beats willpower every time.

ScrollRot gives the apps that eat your day a daily allowance. When it runs out, they lock, and moving is the only way back in. No account. Nothing leaves your iPhone.

Three rules.
One way back in.

You set them when your head is clear. They hold when it isn’t.

  1. Give your time sinks an allowance.

    Pick the apps, categories or sites that pull you in. Give them one shared daily allowance.

  2. When it runs out, they lock.

    Past the allowance, or inside your quiet hours (22:00 to 07:00 by default), the apps lock.

  3. Move to earn it back.

    Push-ups or squats, counted by the camera on your iPhone. On the last rep, your apps open.

  4. Rules freeze while locked.

    No loosening the rules and no turning protection off while you’re locked. Earned time unfreezes them.

ScrollRot daily allowance screen: How much free time a day? 30 minutes selected.
ScrollRot movement screen: Earn 10 minutes. Your price: 20 squats. Buys 10 min, starts when you finish.

Every unlock
costs more.

The first unlock of the day costs 20 squats or 10 push-ups for 10 minutes. Each one after that costs 50% more, up to three times the base. You set your own numbers in Rules.
