Rot Stop
Block Distractions
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Take back your time. Rot Stop blocks distracting apps with schedules, NFC tags, or daily limits, and now unlocks right on time, every time. Private and on-device.
Rot Stop is a privacy-first iOS app that helps you stop digital rot by blocking distracting apps using NFC tags, schedules, usage limits, or any combination.
No subscriptions. No cloud.
How Rot Stop Works
- Choose the apps you want to block: social media, games, shopping, or anything distracting.
- Create multiple groups for different contexts (work, study, sleep)
- (Optional) NFC tags: scan a physical tag to lock or unlock. Real-world friction you can't tap through.
- Schedules: auto-lock apps at specific times and days (work hours, bedtime, weekends)
- Usage limits: auto-block apps after a daily time threshold
- Mix and match: add a schedule and an NFC tag to the same group
Your Pet
Rot Stop includes a virtual pet that mirrors your habits. Lock apps daily and your pet stays happy. Skip a day and it starts to worry. Miss a full week and it reverts to an egg.
Why NFC?
Your focus is protected by something you can't tap through.
Schedules and limits work automatically, but for the moments you want full control, an NFC tag creates a physical pause between impulse and action.
• Fixed schedules sometimes staying locked past their end time until you opened Rot Stop
• Fixed schedules staying locked after using Emergency Unlock
• Improved reliability for overnight and all-day schedules (like lock at 8 PM, unlock at 7 PM)
• Fixed the emergency timer banner jumping around
