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.

Earned
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every unlock begins with a commitment. Earned helps you break the scroll-first habit. Before you open the apps you love, you do something that matters — wash the dishes, read, work out, study — and only then earn a limited window of screen time. HOW IT WORKS 1. DECLARE A TASK Choose from dozens of built-in tasks across chores, wellness, learning, creativity, and more — or create your own with Earned Pro. 2. SET A TIMER Pick how long you'll focus. The timer cannot be paused or skipped. Your selected apps stay locked until time is up. 3. EARN YOUR APPS When the timer ends, you unlock a scroll window — screen time you've actually earned. When it's over, apps lock again until your next task. WHY EARNED IS DIFFERENT • Commitment-first — scrolling is the reward, not the default • No pause, no override — the timer runs until it's done • Real tasks, real streaks — build momentum day after day • Uses Apple's Screen Time APIs — locking happens on your device • Widgets & Live Activities — see your timer and progress at a glance FREE INCLUDES • Lock up to 3 apps • 1 app folder • Full task library • Streak tracking • Scroll window after each completed task EARNED PRO • Unlimited app locking • Unlimited app folders • Custom tasks & durations • Schedule tasks ahead of time • Full insights & streak history • Custom scroll window length PRIVACY Earned uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls frameworks to lock and unlock apps on your device. We do not sell your data. Screen Time usage data stays on your device. SUBSCRIPTIONS Earned Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage subscriptions in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
