Brainrot Tax

Brainrot Tax adds paid attention friction before opening the apps you choose. You pick the “brainrot” apps. We make the cost of opening them visible. How it works Pick taxed apps (Social/Video/Games by default — fully customizable) You get a daily quota of free minutes across your taxed apps When free minutes are gone: watch 1 rewarded ad to unlock that single app for 5 minutes If no ad is available: wait 60 seconds to unlock instead During the unlock window, you won’t be asked again for that app The manifesto This is a digital wellbeing app funded by relapse. When you watch the ad, we get paid. If you reduce your dependency, we make less. If you quit, we make nothing. Our goal is to be starved. Privacy No accounts. No login. Your selection and unlock timers stay on your device Rewarded ads are served by Google AdMob Optional anonymous analytics (opt‑in) to improve the app (e.g. onboarding skip). You can keep it off Permissions (why we need them) On Android, Brainrot Tax uses Accessibility Service and Usage Access to detect when a taxed app is opened and show the unlock screen. We don’t read your messages, keystrokes, or personal content.
