Bed Rot is a cozy pixel bedroom you furnish by resting. Track your rest days without the guilt. Rest isn't something you can be bad at, so there's no way to fail here. No ads, no pressure, no streak guilt. LOG YOUR REST Log each rot - a doomscroll, a series binge, a blanket cocoon - along with how you felt before and after. Every minute earns lint, and lint buys furniture for you and your cat. SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS Does rotting help? The Insights tab shows you: • Your mood before vs. after each rot • Your golden rot hour • What triggers a rot - anxiety, boredom, the group chat • Your year in pixels NO PRESSURE, EVER Miss a day and nothing bad happens - it composts into lint instead. No meditation minutes, no gratitude prompts, no leaderboards. The app never texts first, and nobody else can see your room. DESIGN YOUR DEN • A cat comes with the room, and she sits wherever she likes • Twenty-plus items in the shop - a bean bag, a record player, a fish tank, a blanket fort - plus rare plushes you can't buy, only find • Drag anything anywhere, turn the bed, and move posters along the walls • Fairy lights that light up with your streak • Fifteen color palettes, from Twilight Lilac to Sage RUNS ON REAL TIME Your room follows the real clock: day, dusk and night, dimming while you rest. The lamps come on when yours do. COLLECT VIBE CARDS Seal a rot at 3 AM, under a full moon, on the solstice or in your first December - different moments unlock different cards. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything lives on your phone. No account, no server, no data collection. Export your data any time. Free to try, with a one-time unlock. No subscription. Made for the burnt out, the in-between, and anyone whose Screen Time report is a jump scare. The bed awaits.
