## What is The Rocco App?

Rocco is the bouncer for your phone.

You put apps on the list. Rocco holds the door: daily budget, door hours, let-ins. When it gets tight, he decides — not the “Ignore Limit” button.

Need an exception? Give someone the second key. Your buddy says yes or no. That’s the point.

Rocco keeps a file. Not on the world — on you: which door you knock on, when, how often, how fast you come back. What he says on the shield, at home and in the report comes from that file. Third knock this hour. Tuesdays around 10 PM. A quiet night. A limit that went up while the old one wasn’t even full. No fact, no line.

• List the apps that pull you in
• Daily limit and door hours (hard lock)
• Let-ins from the shield — counted and capped
• Buddy with a second key (free for them)
• A file that grows every night: quiet nights, patterns, buddy balance
• The Run, shift report

English is the base language. With system language German, the app shows German.

Privacy: the list, your usage and Rocco’s file stay on this iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-07

- Tokens on The Run: at 10, 30, 90, 180 and 365 nights in a row, Rocco hangs a cloakroom token on the board. Earned once, never taken back by a break.
- Ranks: a plaque under your count names where you stand — Regular, On the list, VIP, House friend, Fixture.
- Unlock moment: when a token drops, Rocco has a line for it, and you can share it right there.
- Logbook: "Every night so far" now shows the running month open, older months folded to one line with their balance, finished years as volumes.
- Token nights: the night a token fell on sits in the grid as a gold tile.
- Ten years of nights: Rocco keeps the full history, so every volume stays complete.
- Share a lighter week: the shift report turns a week-over-week drop into an image card with your distance to your loudest week, ready for WhatsApp, Messages and friends.
- Average line: the dashed line in the weekly chart now carries its value.
- The Run lost its speech bubble.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-04

Rocco now speaks from your file, not from a script. Every line — on the shield, at home, before you ask your buddy, in the report — comes from something you actually did: the third knock this hour, the door you came back to twelve minutes after it shut, the Tuesday-at-ten habit, the fifth quiet night in a row. No fact, no line.

The shift report keeps the file: nights on file, how many were quiet, your loudest slot, your buddy balance. It grows every night and never resets.

Also: the weekly chart shows each week’s own average, the trend reads Less / More / Same, and The List lost its speech bubble.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-02

- Fixing of Buddy onboarding flow
- Fixing of approval flow in Buddy mode
- Minor bug fixes.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-09-01

Talk to the manager: tell Rocco what's broken or missing, straight from More — with a screenshot if you like.

Taking an app off the list now counts as loosening. Same door policy, no quiet back door.

The Run shows every night as a stamp. The weekly pinboard is gone.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-08-30

Bug fixes and improvements.
