Scrolling eats your days and ambitions. Unrotten wins back the hours lost to doomscrolling and trades them for your goals, bringing back calm, time and your true potential. Every reel and every "just five more minutes" adds up. Unrotten shows you what the feed is costing you, locks it before it wins, and gives you an AI Coach who keeps you going until the book is read, the run is done and your evenings are yours again. A COACH WHO KNOWS YOUR DAY Your AI Coach texts like a real person. It knows your sleep, your scroll and your goals. It greets you each morning, checks in on the plans you make, and taps you on the shoulder when the scroll runs long. PICK THE COACH THAT GETS YOU Wise and warm, calm and stoic, or a Drill Sergeant who won't let you off the hook. Need a real kick? Switch on Savage mode and get roasted, but never when you're down. MEET MINDBATTERY™ Your mind's charge, in one number. Scrolling drains it. Living recharges it. • Watch it drop with every minute on the apps you choose • Fill it back up with sleep, movement, breathing and time away • Check it at a glance on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in your Home Screen widgets SHIELDS DO THE HARD PART Willpower runs out. Shields don't. • A daily limit that locks the feed the moment you hit it • Breaks that cut endless sessions short • Hours of the day that stay yours, with the feed locked out • Phone-free sessions for deep work, focus or reading TRADE THE FEED FOR YOUR GOALS Unrotten comes with nine built-in goals, so there's one for everyone: less scrolling, shorter scroll sessions, calmer evenings, mornings for yourself, better sleep, more movement and more. Turn on the ones that matter to you and watch the good days add up. WIN BACK DAYS OF YOUR LIFE Insights shows every hour you take back from the feed, what it's worth, and how each goal is going, day by day. WIDGETS THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK Your MindBattery™, your Coach and the time left today, right on your Home Screen. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH With your permission, Unrotten reads your sleep, workouts, steps and mindful minutes to recharge your MindBattery™ and score your nights, and saves the nights, workouts and breathing sessions you log.

Focus app blocker free. You don't have a discipline problem. You have a phone designed to steal your attention. InwardFocus blocks distracting apps on iphone with a schedule you set. Protect your morning, before bed time and after work from your distracted apps. every time you reach for a blocked app out of habit, it pauses you from accessing the apps. Come with widget that shows you a daily affirmation instead of your feed. You don't just block the scroll. You replace it with who you're becoming. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a focus schedule e.g. mornings, work hours, evenings, or all day 2. Choose which apps to block (social media, work related apps) 3. When the schedule starts, those apps are locked behind a shield screen. No more notifications, no messages from those apps during the schedule 4. Open a blocked app by habit? You see an affirmation, not a feed Blocking is enforced by Apple's Screen Time technology, the same system behind iOS parental controls. No willpower needed, the apps simply won't open. NEED A REAL BREAK? Life happens. Tap "Request 15 Minutes" on the block screen for a short window, then blocking resumes automatically. Enough flexibility to stay realistic, not enough to relapse into a two-hour scroll. AFFIRMATIONS THAT REWIRE THE HABIT Choose from 10 identity themes — I Am Disciplined, I Am Present, I Am Creator, I Am Enough, I Trust Myself, and more. Affirmations rotate throughout the day, so every pickup becomes a small moment of intention instead of a lost half hour. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Put your current affirmation right on your home screen, so the first thing you see is a reminder of who you are — not a notification badge. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your schedules and blocked-app choices never leave your iPhone. All blocking happens on-device through Apple's Screen Time framework.
