## What is Dr Brainrot?

Dr Brainrot is the doctor out to cure your doomscroll brainrot.

Infinite feeds are engineered to be impossible to put down. 
Dr Brainrot inverts the cost: he locks your most distracting apps and only hands screen time back once you have given your brain a real workout. 
Scroll time stops being free.
You earn it back one right answer at a time, and the effort sharpens you instead of numbing you.

HOW THE CURE WORKS
1. Lock the feeds. Pick your most distracting apps. They sit behind a real, system-level block until you earn them back.
2. Take a check-up. Ten quick questions on a timer, pitched at your level.
3. Earn your minutes. Every right answer banks 30 seconds of screen time.
4. Move your score. Beat the doctor's expectation and your Brain Score climbs.

ONE HONEST BRAIN SCORE
Your Brain Score is a single ELO rating, like chess. It is never spent on screen time, so scrolling never costs you a point. It only moves when you play: out-think the questions served at your level and it climbs, fall short and it slips back. 
It reflects sustained skill, so the number you see is one you actually earned. 

EARNED, NOT GIVEN
Thirty seconds of screen time per correct answer, up to five minutes a run.

PROVE YOU REMEMBER
Ace a question and next time you have to type the answer from memory. 
Recognising the right option no longer counts. Miss it and it returns as multiple choice until you nail it again.

10000+ QUESTIONS, EIGHT TOPICS

Science, History, Geography, Math and Logic, Language and Words, Arts and Culture, Technology, and Nature. 
Questions and their options are shuffled every time and served adaptively, so you are always tested at your level.

A REAL BLOCK
System-level, not a polite reminder. 
Built on Apple Screen Time, the lock redraws the moment you open a sealed app and holds even after you close Dr Brainrot.
