Unrot vs ScrollBuddy

Unrot: Earn Your Scroll Do the thing. Then scroll. Unrot makes you earn your screen time. Walk. Read. Lift. Clean your room. Do the dishes you’ve been ignoring since Tuesday. * Real life earns coins. * Coins unlock TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games, or any apps you choose. No coins? The apps stay locked. You don’t have to delete your favorite apps. You don’t have to pretend you’ll never scroll again. Just one rule: Do something first. Then scroll. Why blocking doesn’t last Other apps say “stop.” But stopping isn’t the whole point. Getting your life back is. And blocking doesn’t last anyway. Your phone is right there. One tap, and you’re back. Unrot gives you a trade instead - A walk for TikTok - A study session for YouTube - A clean room for Instagram - A workout for whatever app keeps stealing your night Now your phone comes after the thing you said you’d do. What changes: - When you’re with friends, you’re with them. - When you work, you work. - When you study, you study. - When you scroll, you scroll. No more half-here, half-in-your-phone.

Your apps start the day shut. You write up to three tasks, say what each is worth, up to thirty minutes, and finishing one earns exactly that. That is the whole loop. The apps you named are blocked from midnight, before you have to decide anything. Willpower at seven in the morning is a bad plan. A choice you already made is a good one. Then you write the day. One to three tasks, no more. SB, the buddy in the app, helps you turn a vague intention into something you can start, and asks about the one that is too big to begin. Once the page is sealed, that is the day. Finishing a task puts its minutes in the bank. Before a task counts as done, SB asks one honest question about it. "Done, really? What did the gym session actually look like?" Nobody checks your answer. That is the point. The bank holds up to 150 minutes. Spending takes a moment. SB asks what it is for and how long, 2 to 30 minutes, and the apps shut again quietly when the time is up. A bank left unspent is a good day. In the evening the bell rings at the hour you chose. SB tells the day back to you in your own words: what got done, what you said about it, what did not happen, and how much closer you are to this month's goal. Then he asks what tomorrow is for, and you write the next page before you sleep. The month has one goal, with a finish line you can count. Twelve gym sessions. Four chapters. Ten applications sent. Tasks either serve it or they do not, and the book keeps the tally. ScrollBuddy was built by one person. Your first full day is on the house: plan it, live it, finish it, and write tomorrow. After that it costs money to keep going: a small subscription, monthly or yearly, or a single purchase that keeps it for good. The prices are shown in the app before you decide. If it does not help, walk away free, no hard feelings. There is no account and no login. Your goal, your tasks, your honest answers and your day count live on your phone and nowhere else. There is no partner to disappoint, no leaderboard, and nobody reading your day but you. Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time permission. ScrollBuddy never sees which apps you open or what you do inside them.
