Wasted - Aware Screen Time

Every other screen time app blocks you. Wasted just makes you aware.

You don't need another wall between you and your phone — you've tapped "Ignore" on Screen Time limits a hundred times. Wasted is different. It's a nudger, not a blocker. Pick the apps you waste time on (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X…), set a reminder interval, and the moment you go over, Wasted calls you out — with a personality you actually feel.

MEET YOUR 5 ARCHETYPES
Choose who nudges you. Each one delivers the same wake-up call in a completely different voice:

• Minimalist — clean, stoic, no drama. Just the facts.
• Satirist — sarcastic and funny. The friend who roasts you with love.
• Philosopher — reflective and thought-provoking. Makes you actually think.
• Moralist — serious and guilt-driven. No sugar-coating.
• Provocateur — aggressive and confrontational. For when you need a slap, not a tap.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps that eat your time.
2. Set how long is "too long."
3. Keep scrolling — Wasted lets you. But the second you cross the line, your archetype fires a notification. Still scrolling? It nudges again, every interval, until you stop.

No blocking. No friction wall. No forcing. Just awareness, sharp enough to break the trance.
