About

The Rocco App

Features
Read full description

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.
