Earn Rot - Earn Your Screen Time, Do First, Scroll Later

by
It' not your typical screen time IOS app. Using your phone is not a problem, it's the fact that the amount of usage effects your life. The app blocks your screen time until you complete your set goals. Are you able to go to the gym past 4 PM? If so your apps lock at 4, and stay locked until you get there, or they stay locked until midnight. The app uses your location to track if your set routines are completed, in order to allow for scrolling.

The app was built after realizing that I was letting my phone addiction get in the way of my productivity. I stopped working out, stopped getting out of bed early, and I stopped working efficiently. All the features in the app are built around problems I've had and helped me crucially. As I was building and testing the application, the usage encouraged me more to produce and launch it because of how well it worked. Phones are not going nowhere. Big tech will always find ways to keep us on our phones. So instead of strictly trying to avoid them, let's make sure what we want done is done, before we use our phones.
