PhoneLess vs Rotcut

PhoneLess helps you reduce screen time, break the pull of distracting apps, and build a healthier relationship with your phone. It gives you different ways to change your habits, helps you understand what works for you, and connects you with people trying to do the same. Your phone isn't the enemy. But sometimes a quick check turns into 30 minutes of scrolling, an app gets downloaded again, or a screen-time limit gets dismissed without thinking. Instead of expecting one solution to work for everyone, PhoneLess gives you different ways to take back control — from app blocking and physical barriers to challenges, accountability and tools to understand your habits. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the apps and websites that take more of your time than you'd like and block them using Apple Screen Time permissions. Create focused periods for work, study, sleep or simply being away from your phone. Block or limit: • Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and Snapchat • YouTube, Netflix and entertainment apps • Reddit and other scrolling-heavy apps • Games, dating and shopping apps • News and distracting websites • Adult content and pornography • Or any other apps you choose MAKE IT HARDER TO GIVE IN PhoneLess lets you create stronger commitments around the apps you want to use less. And when you want a physical barrier, there's Poff. GO PHYSICAL WITH POFF Poff is an optional NFC blocker that takes app blocking outside your phone. Choose your apps, tap your iPhone to Poff, and they stay blocked until you physically return and tap Poff again. Unlocking becomes a conscious decision instead of another button you tap without thinking. DON'T DO IT ALONE Changing your relationship with your phone doesn't have to be a solo thing. Create groups with friends, see each other's progress, take on challenges together and add accountability when willpower isn't enough. Connect with a community of people trying to reclaim their time, share progress and learn from people working toward the same thing. LEARN WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOU PhoneLess isn't just about making your Screen Time number go down. We want you to understand your relationship with your phone. Explore different approaches to digital wellbeing, learn about the thinking and research behind them, try them yourself, and see what helps you change. PhoneLess helps you discover what works for you and build habits that last beyond the app. MAKE CHANGE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO KEEP DOING Reducing screen time doesn't have to feel like punishment. Take on challenges based on your screen-time progress, build streaks, complete quests, earn rewards and customize Doomi as you improve. Track your screen time, Doom apps and focus habits so you can actually see your progress. USE PHONELESS FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER • Reduce social media and doomscrolling • Focus while working or studying • Protect your sleep from late-night scrolling • Be more present with friends and family • Create healthier digital boundaries • Take a digital detox without relying only on willpower • Spend more time on the things you care about MORE THAN AN APP BLOCKER PhoneLess isn't about getting rid of your phone. Phones are incredibly useful. It's about making sure you're the one deciding how you spend your time. Block when you need a barrier. Get accountability when you need support. Try challenges when you need motivation. Learn what works for you. Use Poff when you want the decision to become physical. Some features require iOS Screen Time permissions. PhoneLess Pro unlocks additional features including advanced history, customization, challenge modes and group upgrades. Poff is an optional physical product sold separately where available. Less life in here. More life out there.

Rotcut - Block Apps, Earn Your Screen Time Go From Mindless Scrolling to Intentional Use Your phone is designed to keep you hooked. Every spare second pulls you back into the feed, and before you know it an hour is gone. Rotcut breaks that loop. Instead of opening a distracting app on autopilot, you pause, complete a quick focus task, and earn the right to unlock it. Distraction stops being free, and your attention becomes something you choose to spend. This is not another screen time tracker that just shows you numbers and hopes you feel bad. Rotcut puts real friction and a real reward system between you and the apps that drain your day. How It Works 1) Choose the apps that steal your time, like social media, video, or games 2) Complete focus tasks to earn energy, your unlock currency 3) Spend energy to unlock blocked apps for a limited time 4) Build daily streaks, watch your stats climb, and shrink your scroll loops over time When your unlock time runs out, the block comes back on automatically. You stay in control, not the algorithm. What's Inside - App blocker: shield any apps you choose using Apple Screen Time. Your selection stays private and never leaves your device - Energy points: earn unlock currency by doing something real instead of scrolling - Push-up counter: drop and earn, with on-device motion tracking that counts your reps - Step counter: get up and move to bank energy - Lock in and focus timer: deep work sessions that reward you for staying off your phone - Meditation timer: calm down and reset - Touch grass: a nudge to step outside and reconnect with real life - Panic button: an instant reset for the moments you feel the pull hardest - Daily streaks: keep your momentum alive day after day - Personalized plan: a quick setup tailors your tasks and goals to your habits - Progress and stats: see your streak, energy earned, tasks completed, and history you can be proud of - Daily reminders: gentle nudges to keep your focus on track - Home screen widget: your energy and streak at a glance Good For 1) Reducing compulsive social media use 2) Breaking doomscrolling and short video habits 3) Building more intentional, mindful screen time 4) Staying focused on work, study, or the people in front of you 5) Creating friction before distraction takes over Why Rotcut Is Different Most apps try to block you and hope willpower does the rest. Rotcut gives you a system. You earn your access, you feel the trade, and over time the habit loop weakens. You still have to do the work, but Rotcut gives you the structure, the friction, and the motivation to actually follow through. No account or login is required to get started. Just open the app and begin. Start small. Stay consistent. Take your attention back. If you have ideas or questions, email us at hello@kopontech.com Full access requires a subscription.
