About Rot Reset

Stop rotting.
Start living.

Rot Reset is a gamified self-improvement and addiction recovery app designed for Gen Z and young adults who want to break free from unhealthy habits and reclaim control of their lives.

Take Your Brain Back.Awareness Is The Reset.Progress Over Perfection.Escape The Loop.

Rot Reset is a gamified addiction recovery and self-improvement app where users level up a mascot named Rotty by replacing destructive habits with healthy ones — transforming both the character and themselves in the process.

Core concept

Your mascot.
Your mirror.

Every user starts as a struggling version of Rotty — exhausted, addicted, and trapped in bad habits.

As you improve your life by reducing addictions and building healthy habits, Rotty evolves and transforms visually. The mascot becomes a direct reflection of your real-life progress.

You are not simply tracking numbers. You are watching your character evolve. It feels like a life RPG because it is a life RPG.

The app helps users track addictions, destructive behaviors, dopamine-driven habits, and positive lifestyle changes — all through the lens of Rotty's transformation.

The mission

Rot Reset exists to help people escape "brain rot" culture — the endless scroll, the dopamine loops, the habits that numb you without ever satisfying you.

The goal is not perfection.

The goal is awareness, progress, and becoming the best version of yourself.

"Stop Rotting. Start Living."
"Every Day Is A Reset."
"Break The Cycle."
"You Are Not Lazy. You Are Overstimulated."
The evolution system

Your journey. Your evolution.

Rotty changes based on your behavior. The recovery score determines which version of Rotty appears — updated automatically as you log each day.

Recovery score

Your score.
Your Rotty.

Rot Reset calculates a dynamic recovery score based on everything you log. The score is the engine behind Rotty's evolution — as your score rises, your mascot advances to the next stage.

The score is never shown as a harsh number. It drives the visual transformation — so you see progress, not judgment.

What feeds your score
  • Addiction frequency — fewer incidents = higher score
  • Habit consistency — daily streaks compound fast
  • Sleep quality — logged nightly
  • Exercise — any movement counts
  • Screen time — self-reported or imported

The anti-list

Things we will never ship.

Every habit app has the same drawer of growth-hacky features. We've left them out on purpose. Shame is what got most of us here. We refuse to ship more of it.

Streak resets to zero after one bad day.
Your 47-day run doesn't vanish because you had one rough Tuesday. Streaks pause. They don't punish.
Social feed with leaderboards.
Recovery is not a Strava competition. Your numbers are yours.
"Personalized" guilt-trip notifications.
"You haven't logged in 3 days, are you giving up?" — no. Off by default. Stays off.
Selling de-identified mood data.
We don't have it to sell. We're not building the pipes to collect it later.
A chatbot pretending to be your therapist.
If you're in crisis: 988 (US) · 116 123 (UK). Real humans. Not us.
