Unrot privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Unrot ("the app") helps you spend less time in endless feeds. It is built so that nothing

about you leaves your phone.

What Unrot looks at

With your permission, Unrot uses Android's Accessibility service to:

see which app is in front, and
only inside the apps you choose to watch (for example YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook,

TikTok), notice whether a feed or a Reels / Shorts player is on screen and when you scroll

or swipe to the next video.

It uses this to show Mochi (the on-screen buddy), count time and reels, fade the screen, pause

the video, and show the check-ins, waits, pause and lock screens.

Unrot does not read your messages, passwords, posts, comments or anything you type, does

not take screenshots, and does not look inside apps you haven't chosen to watch.

Only on your phone, in the app's private storage:

your settings (watched apps, budget, strictness, focus hours, switches);
per app, per day: minutes in the feed and in Reels / Shorts, number of reels, waits,

pause screens and times you pulled back; minutes per hour of the day;

your Lock in sessions (length, what it was for, finished or not), XP, level, streak and

Mochi's outfits.

You can export this as a CSV file or delete it at any time in Settings → Your data.

Uninstalling the app deletes it. App backups are turned off, so it is not copied to the cloud.

None of your usage data. Unrot has no account, no servers, no analytics, no advertising and no

third-party SDKs that collect data. The only connection it makes is to Google Play (through

the Google Play Billing library) to start, check and renew your subscription. Google processes

the payment under its own privacy policy; Unrot never sees your card, UPI or bank details.

Permission	Why
Notifications	The optional evening summary (one a day).
Do Not Disturb access	Optional. Mutes notifications during a Lock in session; calls still ring; your own Do Not Disturb setup is restored afterwards.
Write secure settings	Optional, granted only by you from a computer (`adb`). Turns the screen black and white when your "brain" gets foggy.
Package visibility	To check which of the supported social apps are installed.

Unrot is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from

anyone (it collects none at all).

If this policy changes, the new version will be shown in the app (**Settings → Privacy

policy**) and on this page, with a new date above.
