Nobrainrot is a focus app blocker for people who open Instagram without deciding to. Pick the apps that eat your day, tap once, and they stay locked until your session ends. People who keep a mode running for two weeks or more get back 2h 13m a day on average (Nobrainrot in-app data). HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps to block: social media, short video, games, anything that pulls you in. Start a session with one tap or put it on a schedule. Open a blocked app and you get a quiet block screen instead of the feed. PICK HOW STRICT YOU WANT IT Easy: stop any time, or take a break of up to 15 minutes and come back. Hardcore: no way out until the timer ends. Not even the emergency unlock can end it. Shift: use the Shift device, a small NFC puck sold separately. Your apps stay blocked until you tap your iPhone on it. Leave it in another room and doomscrolling turns into a walk. The Shift device is optional. The app works on its own. SCHEDULES THAT RUN THEMSELVES Block social media every weekday from 10:30 to 19:30, before bed or during study time. Set it once. STRICT MODE While a block is running you can't change the mode or delete the app. Future you will try. This stops them. STATS AND STREAKS See how much time you shifted today, set a daily goal and keep your streak alive. Share your offline time as a card, not your feed. FREE AND PRO The free plan includes 3 modes and 1 schedule. Nobrainrot Pro lifts those limits and adds the allow list. Nobrainrot Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly to your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.

AC filter. Furnace filter. Water filter. Car registration. Oil change. Smoke detector batteries. Window remembers when each one is due, and tells you before it matters. Some things are too important to forget — and too infrequent to remember. Tell Window once. It remembers when. — DO IT. MARK IT DONE. FORGET ABOUT IT. — Changed the water filter? One tap. Window records the date, works out when it's due next, and reminds you before it matters again. — KNOW WHEN YOU LAST DID IT — Every item keeps a simple history of each time you actually did it. Window doesn't just remind you — it remembers. — WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION, FIRST — Home is ordered by what matters now: what's overdue or coming due, then what's coming up, then everything later. "13 days left" instead of a date you have to work out. — REPEATING THINGS AND ONE-TIME DATES — Every 60 days, every 6 months, every year — or a single date, like a return window, a free trial, or a warranty. You never choose a mode; just answer "when should this come back?" — ADD SOMETHING IN SECONDS — Start from suggestions for the home, the car, yourself, your pets and your paperwork: AC filter, water filter, smoke detector batteries, oil change, tire rotation, registration, dentist, contact lenses, flea and tick treatment, returns, renewals, warranties. — CALM REMINDERS — A heads-up in the morning before something is due — a few days for a filter, a month for a registration — and again on the day. No streaks, no nagging, no badges demanding attention. — WIDGETS — See what's coming up on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account. No sign-in. Everything stays on your iPhone. — WINDOW+ — Free for up to 5 active items. One purchase unlocks unlimited items and custom icons. Pay once, keep it forever.
