A weekly league between friends

Whoever uses their phone least wins.

A league with your friends that lasts one week. Whoever finishes last takes the punishment.

K, KRot’s carrot, waving
Meet K

K goes off the more you scroll.

The more phone time, the worse K looks. K keeps you company all day and talks to you in the tone you pick. It’s not a verdict on your health: it’s a carrot.

The limit

The group sets the limit.

One limit for everyone, and nobody gets to skip it. When you hit it, your phone locks, except for calls and your essentials: the two or three apps you choose. Everything comes back when the league’s day starts (05:00, unless the group picks another time).

Every time you tap a locked app, your league sees it.

Asking for time

Out of time? Beg.

Your plea goes to the whole league at once, and the first person to say yes gives you the minutes. But you take a one-third penalty on the spot.

And whoever gives them to you moves ahead of you. Saying no costs nothing either: they just laugh.

The punishment

You write the punishment.

KRot doesn’t suggest anything and stays out of it. The group writes what the loser has to do, and any change is put to a vote. It starts on Monday.

Legal, safe and without humiliating anyone. The rest is up to you.

The tone

K talks to you however you like.

Cruel, Sarcastic or Gentle. K tells you how you’re doing, reminds you when you’re locked out and has opinions about what your league gets up to.

Tap a tone and see how K greets you when you hit the limit.

How K talks to you

I knew we’d end up here.

The penalty for asking for time
1/3

Asking for time costs you.

Ask for 60 minutes and 20 are added to your week on the spot, and the 60 you use count separately. Think twice before you beg.

Privacy

Your league sees your minutes. Nothing else.

It’s the first thing everyone asks before installing this, so it goes here and not in the small print.

How much, not what

Your league sees minutes, rounded down, and your attempts to get past the lock. Never what you do, read or write inside your apps.

We don’t sell data

No advertising, and no analytics on your screen time. Apple’s detailed data stays on your iPhone.

Leave whenever you want

Delete your account from the app’s Profile tab and it’s gone instantly. Here’s how.

Questions

What people ask us.

What counts as screen time?

Your whole phone, except calls and your essentials: up to five apps you choose that neither count nor lock, like Maps or whatever you use for work.

What happens when I hit the limit?

Everything that counts stays locked until the league’s next day starts, at 05:00 unless the group picks another time. Calls and your essentials keep working. If you need it, you can ask your league for time.

Can I play on my own?

No. Without other people there are no standings, no punishment and nobody to ask for time. Create a league and invite your friends with its code.

How much does it cost?

Seeing your own time is free. For the league to work (standings, locking, pleas and the feed) you need the league pass: one person pays and it covers the whole group. It’s an Apple subscription you cancel in Settings.

Which phones and languages?

For now, iPhone only, and the app is in Spanish only. It uses Apple’s Screen Time permission to measure and lock.

Anything else? Go to support.
