Stop Brain Rot helps you block distracting apps so you can focus on your schedule, with no account and no guilt. How It Works Create blocks: name them, set a time range and which days they're active, and choose which apps to block. When a block is running, those apps are blocked. When it's over, everything is back to normal. Need focus right now? Start a Quick Block in one tap. - Schedule blocks by time and weekdays - Group apps (e.g. "social", "games", "distractions") and assign a group to each block - Start from a preset and be set up in under a minute - Quick Block: block your apps for the next 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours - Session Lock: a running block can't be switched off with a tap, so you can't talk yourself out of it - Breaks that cost something: a short pause after a wait that grows with every break - Streaks: count the days in a row you kept a block - Live Activity: the time left on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island - Insights: see how much time went to your blocked apps, app by app - Uses Screen Time, so your usage stays on your iPhone - Calm, simple interface Reclaim Your Focus Whether it's work, study, sleep, or time with family, set blocks that match your life.

Tranzit

You say "five more minutes." They nod. The timer hits zero. The screen goes dark. And somehow β every single time β it's a surprise. The negotiating starts. The meltdown follows. And you end up the villain again. It's not defiance. For kids with ADHD, time blindness is real β their brain genuinely doesn't feel minutes passing. An abrupt ending doesn't feel like a timer running out. It feels like an ambush. That's what Tranzit is built for. HOW IT WORKS Tranzit runs on a separate iPhone or iPad β a companion device that sits next to your kid while they play or watch. Pick a screen time length, optionally pick what your kidβs transitioning to next, and tap start. From that moment on, Tranzit quietly does the work of making "time's up" stop being a surprise: β’ A calm voice announces checkpoints ("ten minutes leftβ¦ five minutes leftβ¦") β’ The screen shifts from green to yellow to red as the clock winds down β’ At zero, Tranzit announces the end and beeps until you cancel Your kid's brain gets the runway it needs to land on its own β so by the time the screen goes dark, the transition has already happened. WHO IT'S FOR Tranzit is designed for families with kids ages 6β12, where screen-time transitions are often hardest. Tranzit especially resonates with families affected by ADHD or time blindness β but plenty of neurotypical kids can benefit too. WHAT YOU NEED β’ A spare iPhone or iPad (old ones work great) β’ Nothing else β Tranzit runs fully on-device, no internet required WHAT YOU GET β’ Progressive voice warnings with multiple voice options β’ Green β yellow β orange β red screen that's visible from across the room β’ Biometric lock so the timer can't be cancelled mid-session by curious hands β’ One-time purchase β no subscription, no ads, no trackers β’ Private by design β your settings and session history stay on your device A GENTLE NOTE Tranzit is a tool, not a replacement for parental judgment or professional advice. It's not a medical device. It's the scaffold a lot of families wish they'd had years ago β a structured hand-off that turns "time's up" from an ambush into a landing. Tonight could be different.
