Individual
Start personal protection and build Protected Time, Bed Use Time, consistency streaks, and statistics on your own.
A simple place to begin
Quick Start
AntiBedRot is a gentle support tool. Start with the amount of structure that feels right for you, then adjust as you learn what helps.
1. Choose an approach
Social
Sign in and add mutual Friends for encouragement. Friends cannot control your protection.
Partner Circle
Choose stronger accountability with people who explicitly accept a Partner connection.
Private record
After stopping protection, choose Until I start again and then Keep a private record to reflect privately on-device.
2. Start protection
- Open Home and tap Start.
- Allow Screen Overlay if you want the visible posture countdown. Without it, AntiBedRot can still use haptics and brief prompts.
- Allow App Awareness if you want app exemptions and more accurate Screen Time. It does not read screen contents.
Notifications and Battery Optimization are offered after sign-in to improve reliability. You can change every optional system setting later in Settings.
3. Understand the prompt
When AntiBedRot detects a likely bed-use posture while your screen is on, it gives you time to move or sit up before a lockout. A prompt is a nudge—not a judgement. Correcting posture cancels it.
Protected Time is an accumulated balance while protection runs. Bed Use Time is detected bed-use posture time for today. Consistency Streaks are daily consistency markers; they are not a count of Protected-Time days.
4. Pause or stop
Tap Stop on Home and choose a pause duration. Protection starts again automatically after a timed pause. Choose Until I start again only when you want protection fully stopped.
In Individual mode, that option can offer a private local record. It creates no warnings, rankings, Partner updates, or cloud upload.
5. Connect only if you want to
Sign in to use Social or Partner Circle. Your Profile shows your Private identity: initially your Google email fallback, or a username you choose later. Set it to Private to prevent new connection lookup.
Partner Circle requires mutual acceptance and has additional controls. Read the in-app disclosure before you connect.
