Tap the widget when it's done Free - One note at a time Burner Pro — $0.99, one-time purchase - Queue up to 5 notes at a time - The widget always shows what's next - Completing one note auto-advances to the next What Burner is NOT: - Not a to-do list (use Reminders for that) - Not a notes app (use Notes for that) - Not a calendar (use Calendar for that) Burner is for the one thing that matters in the next hour. The thought you almost lost. The reminder you'll see 100 times today because it's right where your eyes already go. No accounts. No sync. No ads. No tracking. Just one note, where you'll see it.

POV: You've had enough doomscrolling. Your attention span is cooked. The brainrot is real. You open your phone to check the time and suddenly you've lost 45 minutes to short-form videos. It's time to take control. Welcome to Rotting—the anti-app designed to help you reclaim your focus, heal your dopamine receptors, and protect your peace. In a world engineered to steal your attention, doing absolutely nothing is the ultimate act of rebellion. We are constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed, and connected to a digital matrix that drains our energy. Rotting is your sanctuary. It is a dedicated space on your phone where the only goal is to disconnect. HOW IT WORKS The rules are brutally simple, yet incredibly challenging: 1. Open the app. 2. Put your phone down. 3. Do absolutely nothing. As long as you leave your phone untouched, your session timer will track your progress. But if you pick up your phone, leave the screen, or succumb to the urge to check your notifications, the timer immediately stops. No cap, this is the ultimate mindfulness challenge. THE AESTHETIC OF NOTHINGNESS Rotting isn't just a utility; it's a visual experience. We've crafted a breathtaking, minimalist liquid glass aesthetic that feels premium and calming. As you disconnect, you'll be accompanied by an interactive, dynamic starfield background that slowly shifts and responds to your presence. It's a digital zen garden designed to soothe your mind before you lock your screen and step away. BUILD YOUR AURA Consistency is the key to breaking bad habits. - Track your sessions over time with our beautiful history visualizations. - Maintain your daily streak by hitting your completely customizable daily 'Nothing' goal. - Watch your screen time drop as your mindfulness minutes increase. - Unlock beautiful confetti celebrations when you hit your milestones. FLEXIBILITY FOR THE REAL WORLD We know you can't always have the app open. That's why we included the ability to log manual time. Spent 30 minutes meditating, reading a physical book, or just staring at the ceiling? You can add that custom time directly into your history to keep your aura strong and your streaks alive. GENTLE NUDGES We use entirely local, privacy-respecting notifications to gently remind you when it's time to take a break. No spam, no annoying alerts. Just a soft nudge reminding you that it's okay to unplug for a moment. PREMIUM: UNLOCK FOREVER Rotting offers a simple, one-time lifetime unlock to access premium features. No annoying recurring subscriptions. - Unlock your complete, unlimited session history. - Remove all limits on logging past offline sessions. - Support indie development and the fight against the attention economy. WHY "ROTTING"? "Bed rotting" has become a viral term for lying in bed and doing nothing. We are reclaiming this concept. Instead of rotting away while doomscrolling, we invite you to mindfully rot. To intentionally pause. To let your brain rest, recover, and reset. THE BENEFITS OF DOING NOTHING - Drastically reduce your daily screen time. - Lower anxiety and combat digital burnout. - Improve your attention span and deep work capabilities. - Heal your dopamine pathways by reducing constant high-stimulus input. - Reconnect with the physical world and your own thoughts. It's time to escape the matrix. Touch grass (virtually). Get back into your lane. Unplugged, unbothered, and thriving. Join the movement. Download Rotting today, put your phone down, and finally experience the luxury of absolutely nothing.
