About Rot-Pet: App Blocker
Rot-Pet is an app blocker and screen time limiter for the apps you choose. Select social, short-video, or browsing apps, set daily minute budgets, and see how much time remains. When you open a selected app, a quick check-in gives you a choice instead of an imposed countdown. The goal is simple: make your screen time visible while keeping the next step in your hands.
Choose how to continue
At the check-in, leave the app right away or unlock it for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. There is no forced wait or countdown before you decide. “Leave it” is always one tap away.
Once a daily budget is used, or after you reopen an app repeatedly, you can answer three quick questions to earn a few bonus minutes. The questions offer a small extra allowance; they are not a barrier to leaving.
Your virtual brain pet reflects your app use
The pet moves through five moods: Sigma, Chill, Mid, Cooked, and Rotted. Time in the apps you selected affects its mood. Stay within your limits to keep it happy; go over a limit and its mood drops. Build a focus streak, collect Brain Cells, and level up. The Brain Closet lets you choose hats, glasses, chains, and tricks for your pet. You also have one streak freeze each week.
Look back without turning it into a diagnosis
Rot Scan uses the last 7 days of usage in your selected apps to set a personal baseline. Compare your daily and weekly minutes with that baseline to see how your recent app time is changing. Rot Scan is not a brain scan or a health assessment.
The shareable weekly report includes minutes saved, app opens avoided, your streak, and your pet’s status. It gives you a short recap of the week, not a judgement about your health.
Simple setup and on-device history
There is no account or sign-up. Core features work offline, and your usage history stays on your device. You can choose whether to receive reminder notifications or a notification about the weekly report.
What the permissions do
Usage access reads the time in selected apps so Rot-Pet can show remaining minutes, check the limits you set, and compare usage with your baseline.
The Accessibility service only detects when a selected app opens so the check-in can appear at the right moment. It does not read screen content. You can switch the service off in Android settings or uninstall Rot-Pet whenever you want.
Free and Premium plans
Free protects up to two selected apps with standard check-ins. Premium adds unlimited apps and more control over check-in rules. Manage or cancel your subscription through Google Play.
