Five hours and sixteen minutes. That is the average American day on a phone, often without realising. It is time to take some of it back.

Shift NFC puck and Shift Card, the physical keys that unlock your blocked apps

The app is good.
With the puck it is unarguable.

A timer can be waited out. Shift moves the unlock off the phone entirely. You walk to the puck and tap it, and most of the time you change your mind on the way.

We cannot see which apps you block

On iPhone, the apps you pick reach us as hashed tokens that even we can't read. Your detailed screen time is processed by Apple on your phone and never sent to us.

No ads

Not now, not later.

No data brokers

We don't sell your data. Brokers and advertisers never get it.

No cross-app tracking

The app doesn't follow you into other apps or websites.

Questions about the app blocker

How do I block apps on my iPhone with Nobrainrot?

Make a mode, pick the apps you want gone, and start a session with a timer, a schedule or the Shift puck. Until the session ends, a blocked app shows a shield screen instead of your feed.

Is Nobrainrot free?

Yes. You can download it and block apps without paying anything. Nobrainrot Pro is an optional subscription that unlocks full access to break settings.

How is Nobrainrot different from Apple Screen Time?

Screen Time gives you an Ignore Limit button, and you know exactly where it is. Nobrainrot doesn't have one. Turn on strict mode and you also can't delete the app or change the mode until the block ends.

Do I need the Shift device to use the app?

No. The app blocker works on its own. The Shift puck is optional. It moves the unlock off your phone, so ending a session means getting up and tapping it.

Can I block apps on a schedule?

Yes. Set a start time and an end time, pick the days, and the block turns on by itself. Weekday mornings, school nights, whatever you keep losing to your phone.

What if I really need an app during a block?

That depends on the mode you picked. Easy break lets you take a break or stop whenever you want. Hardcore can't be stopped until the timer runs out. With the Shift device, only a tap on the puck ends it.

Which phones does Nobrainrot work on?

iPhones running iOS 16 or later. The Android version is coming soon.

Can Nobrainrot see which apps I use?

On iPhone, no. The apps you choose reach us as tokens we can't read, and Apple processes your screen time on the phone itself.

Available on iPhone.
Android coming soon.

Free to download. Free to use. No account until you want one.
