About Us
The people who built the anti-app.
Who We Are
We are just a group of people who realized that we spend way too much time scrolling through absolute garbage. We built this app to force ourselves (and you) to just sit in silence for a few minutes a day.
A Message from the Creator
Hey.
I built this app because my screen time was terrifying. I couldn't sit still for two minutes without reaching into my pocket for a dopamine hit.
I wanted to create the anti-app. An app that rewards you for doing the exact opposite of what every other tech company wants you to do: nothing.
I hope this little slice of Rotting helps you reclaim a tiny piece of your attention span. Keep doing nothing.
— The Creator
Our Mission
Rotting exists to fight the attention economy. Every app you've ever used is designed to keep you on it as long as possible. We're the opposite. We want you to close the app.
By rewarding inactivity — streaks, daily goals, personal bests — we give you a reason to disconnect from everything else and just be.
No feeds. No notifications you didn't ask for. No dark patterns. Just you, the timer, and a little peace and quiet.
The Manifesto
Your attention is the most valuable thing you own.
Big Tech wants it. Advertisers want it. Algorithms were built to steal it.
We want none of it.
Rotting is an act of quiet defiance. A soft no to the noise. A moment that belongs to you.
Keep doing nothing. It's the most radical thing you can do.
