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.

About

Descroll

Read full description

Block the apps that pull you away, where and when you choose. Hold to block right now, set the hours once, or pick a place on the map. When the pull comes anyway, Descroll meets you with a calm question, not a lecture. Strict by default: once a block starts, Settings can't loosen it. No ads, no streaks to lose. WAYS TO BLOCK • Now: drag the day strip to when it ends, then hold to start • By time: say it in one sentence, like "Block Social from 7 PM to 9 PM on weekdays" • By place: apps block when you arrive and come back when you leave • With friends: start the same block together and see who kept it WHEN IT PULLS Reach for a blocked app and Descroll asks if it's worth it right now. Stay blocked, or unblock anyway, with no guilt trip. An early unlock opens just that app for 15 minutes (you set 0 to 10 a week), a short walk can open it for 5, and Emergency ends every block at once. ASK AMBER Not sure what to block, or when? Ask Amber. Amber knows your own blocks and plans, answers in a few lines, and sets up the block you talk about with one tap. Amber never unblocks anything. Answers come from an AI service and can be wrong, so check what matters. A DAILY GOAL Set how long you want blocked each day. The Schedule tab shows what's left to go. LOOK BACK, KINDLY • Home: your day in tiles, each opening its own page • Presence: one number from your own days, with what shaped it, sleep included if you connect Health • History: every block, when it ran, what it blocked and whether you kept it • After a kept block, say how it felt and what the time went to • Goals count the days you kept a block, and a missed day takes nothing away • Your Screen Time stats ALSO • A countdown on your Lock Screen for Block now and time blocks • Start a block from Control Center, Shortcuts or your voice • Swaps: real things to do instead of reaching • Block websites too PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no trackers. Blocking needs no account; Amber uses the cloud account already on your device, or asks you to sign in. Descroll never sends your Screen Time data or where your Places are anywhere; a map search sends only what you type and the area shown. Amber sends nothing until you say yes. Then your question and a summary of your blocks go to an AI service that deletes them within 30 days and never trains on them; sleep from Health goes too only if you turn that on. Block with friends shares a block's name and times, first names and who kept it, through the cloud account already on your device. Help improve Descroll stays off unless you turn it on. FREE Block now with any apps and websites, one collection with a daily limit, two time blocks, one Place, Block with friends, every way out, Home's numbers for today, History's last 7 days, a daily chat with Amber and your Screen Time stats. DESCROLL+ • Up to 20 Places, more time blocks and more collections • Routine: up to two blocks a day, planned before the hours you usually reach for your device • Calendar blocks and ready-made setups • Trends: every earlier day, Presence history and History before the last 7 days • The 30-day plan's sessions in the Library • Widgets and app icon colors • 5x Amber's daily use Monthly or yearly. Yearly starts with a 1-week free trial if you haven't had one. Payment is charged to your account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your account settings.
