Block distracting apps with a physical tap. Place NFC dots around your space and scan to instantly lock or unlock apps. No willpower needed—just a simple tap. Stop scrolling. Start living. Rot Dot turns app blocking into a physical habit. Place NFC stickers around your home, office, or anywhere you need focus—then tap to instantly block distracting apps. WHY ROT DOT WORKS Other screen time apps rely on willpower. You tap a button, wait out a timer, or dismiss a reminder. Rot Dot is different. To unlock your blocked apps, you have to physically walk to your NFC dot and tap it. That small friction is often enough to break the autopilot habit of opening Instagram, TikTok, or whatever app pulls you in. HOW IT WORKS Stick an NFC dot somewhere in your space Choose which apps to block for that dot Tap your phone to the dot to toggle blocking on or off That's it. No complicated schedules. No awkward workarounds. Just a physical action that puts you back in control. CREATE A DOT FOR EVERY SPACE • Living room dot — Block social media while spending time with family • Bedroom dot — Block apps at bedtime for better sleep • Office dot — Block distractions during deep work • Gym bag dot — Block everything except music and podcasts Each dot can block a different set of apps, so you can customize your focus for every situation. PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Rot Dot uses Apple's official Screen Time API—the same system parents use for device management. Your app choices and usage data never leave your iPhone.
