No way I have to spend money to try to be healthy these days?? And what happened to apps costing money to download, not downloading them, signing up, getting excited and then realising it costs like $15 a week? It should not be that expensive.

I hate this

IM JUST A KID WHI WANTS LESS SCREEN TIME AND TO BE MORE ACTIVE! AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY 10 DOLLARS A MONTH!! IM A KID! I DONT JUST HAVE MONEY

Scam

Over priced

Changed My Life for Better, Improvements Still Possible

The underlying concept behind this app is brilliant, as it compels me to do useful things with my time, in order to *earn* that time spent giving my brain a rest with a scroll (mostly on YouTube or news websites). It’s helped make my relationship with YouTube much healthier, which has been a recurring problem in my life for years.

This app could however go further. To my knowledge, there is no laptop/browser integration, meaning users could just migrate their ‘scroll time’ to their computer (albeit there are ways around it, e.g. blocking websites from the command prompt as I’ve done).

I also find the interface really clunky. I rarely track my ‘unrot time’ with a timer, and I hate that I have to set it to indefinite every single time. Furthermore, it happens a lot that I’ll realise I need access to a certain app during a certain activity (e.g. I need access to my banking apps while working, or access to Spotify while cooking etc.). The process of quitting the activity and setting the permitted apps up correctly is super clunky and takes longer than it should. There should be some kind of shortcut for this, e.g. a pause function that allows you make changes to the activity settings. Also, for custom activities you only get options of 10, 20 or 30 coins/hr, why can’t I set it to 15? Or indeed anywhere in between?

Overall however, a good app with a brilliant underlying concept.

FAQ

What does Unrot do?

Unrot is designed to help users combat 'brainrot,' a state of mental fog and screen addiction caused by overstimulation. It works by rewarding users with screen time credits for completing real-life habits, such as exercising, journaling, or meditating. These credits can then be used to unlock apps, creating a balanced approach to technology use.

How does Unrot help with screen addiction?

Instead of simply blocking apps, Unrot encourages a healthier relationship with technology by making screen time earned. By completing beneficial real-life habits, users build discipline and mental clarity, which in turn allows them to spend their earned screen time guilt-free. This system aims to reverse the effects of constant overstimulation and restore focus.

What are the key features of Unrot?

Key features include a brainrot recovery system that rewards real-life actions, a brain mascot that reflects your mental state, photo-based habit tracking for proof of completion, built-in focus tools like timers and soundscapes, and mood/dopamine check-ins to understand emotional triggers. The app also prioritizes privacy with no cloud data collection.

How much does Unrot cost?

Access to Unrot requires a paid subscription. The exact pricing details for the subscription are not specified in the provided description, but it is the sole monetization model for the application.

What kind of habits can I track in Unrot?

You can track a variety of healthy habits that help restore mental energy and focus. Examples include walking, journaling, deep breathing, gratitude practices, workouts, and mindfulness activities. The app allows for photo-based logging to verify completion and earn credits.
