Need help with Peak Brain Rot? Start here.

Peak Brain Rot is an exercise-gated distraction blocker. You earn $PEAK credits by raising your heart rate during workouts, then spend those credits to unlock the apps you've chosen to block. The healthy choice becomes the path to your phone.

Getting started

• Grant Apple Health access. On first launch, allow Peak Brain Rot to read your workout heart rate. This is how the app calculates your earned credits.
• Grant Screen Time access. Allow the Screen Time / Family Controls permission so the app can block your selected apps.
• Set your earning threshold. During onboarding, enter your age and pick the heart-rate threshold (70%, 80%, or 90% of your max) at which you start earning.
• Choose your blocklist. Select the apps you want to keep locked until you've earned enough to unlock them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I earn $PEAK credits?
Work out. While your heart rate is above your chosen threshold, the app converts those peak-effort minutes into $PEAK credits. The harder and longer you push, the more you earn.

Why isn't my workout earning credits?
Make sure Apple Health access is granted (Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Peak Brain Rot) and that your workout actually recorded heart-rate data above your threshold. Credits are based on heart rate, not steps or distance, so low-intensity activity may not qualify.

Which watches and fitness trackers are supported?
Peak Brain Rot doesn't connect to your watch directly — it reads workouts and heart rate from Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android. So any watch or tracker that syncs heart-rate data into those platforms will work. We've tested it on Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, and Galaxy Watch. As long as your device records heart rate to Apple Health or Health Connect, you're good to go.

Why aren't my apps being blocked?
Confirm Screen Time / Family Controls access is enabled. If you recently restarted your device or updated iOS, reopen Peak Brain Rot once to re-establish the block.

Where is my data stored?
Entirely on your device. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics. Your balance, ledger, and blocklist never leave your phone. See our Privacy Policy.

How do I reset my balance or start over?
In the app, go to Settings > Wipe balance + ledger to clear your earning and spending history, or Settings > Reset onboarding to start fresh.

How do I revoke permissions?
You can turn off Health or Screen Time access at any time in your device's Settings. Note that the app's core features won't work without them.
