Rot Dot

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.
