Questions, answered.
What is Brainripe?
Brainripe is a screen time app for iPhone that helps you stop doomscrolling. You pick the apps you want to spend less time on, and a little buddy on your home screen shows how you're doing: stay under your limits and it ripens, go over and it starts to rot.
How do I stop doomscrolling?
Start by choosing the apps that pull you in, like TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, and setting a daily limit. Brainripe tracks your time in those apps, warns you before your buddy starts to rot, and gives you quick real-life habits, like a focus session or a walk, to do instead of scrolling.
What is brain rot, and how does Brainripe help?
Brain rot is the internet's name for that foggy, drained feeling after hours of short videos and endless feeds. Brainripe makes it visible: your buddy rots as your screen time piles up, and ripens back up when you log off and do something real.
How does Brainripe help me reduce screen time?
Brainripe tracks rot time (time in the apps you chose to limit), focus time, pickups, and streaks, then rolls them into one ripeness score. Watching your buddy wilt in real time is a surprisingly strong nudge to put the phone down.
What are habits in Brainripe?
Habits are real-life activities that keep you off your phone: focus sessions, walks, reading, cooking, journaling, and more. Some ask for quick proof. Finishing them earns fruit, and sometimes collectible items tied to the activity or the season.
What is the Island, and what can I buy with fruit?
The Island is your buddy's home base. Spend the fruit you earn on cosmetics for your buddy, like hats and flower crowns, or on building blocks for the island, like a cottage, pond, or windmill, and snap them together however you like. The better your habits and stats, the more you can unlock.
