Description of Service

Derot is a screen time control application designed to help users reduce doomscrolling and build healthier digital habits. The App provides:

  • App blocking and shields for distracting applications
  • Habit-based screen time unlocks earned through completed routines
  • A structured 21-day recovery plan with daily missions
  • Habit logging with photos, timers, and streak tracking
  • Progress analytics, calendars, and activity history

Important: Some features, including app blocking, require a Premium subscription and appropriate system permissions. Derot is a self-help productivity tool and does not provide medical, psychological, or parental-control guarantees.
