UnRot: Scroll Less

Stop losing hours to Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. UnRot is a free, open-source app that detects short-form video feeds the moment they open and blocks them based on rules you set — no willpower required.

WHY UNROT

Short-form video is engineered to be endless. UnRot puts a hard stop in place so scrolling "just for five minutes" doesn't turn into an hour of brain rot.

KEY FEATURES

★ Block All — Instantly lock access to every supported short-form feed.

★ Daily Limit — Set how many minutes you're allowed per day. Once you hit it, you're blocked until tomorrow.

★ Interval Timer — Alternate fixed periods of watch time and breaks throughout the day for controlled access.

★ Live Brain Rot Timer — A real-time on-screen overlay tracks your current session so you always know how long you've been scrolling.

★ Pause — Need a quick exception? Pause blocking for 5 minutes, then it resumes automatically.

★ Usage Tracking — See exactly how much time you're spending on each platform, day by day.

HOW IT WORKS

UnRot uses Android's Accessibility Service only to recognize when a supported app opens a short-form video screen — never to read your messages, photos, or personal content. Detection and blocking happen entirely on your device.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

- No account or sign-up required
- No internet connection needed — UnRot works fully offline
- No ads, analytics, or trackers
- All your data stays on your device
- 100% open source under the GPLv3 license

Take back your attention. Install UnRot and turn "just one more video" into "not today."
