Ration

Most time-management apps tell you how to do more. Ration tells you how much you have left.

We operate under the illusion that our day is 24 hours long. In reality, once you subtract sleep, work, transit, and daily friction, your "True Free Time"—your Ration—is often less than 4 hours.

Ration is a digital stoicism instrument designed to visualize this scarcity right on your home screen. By watching your daily Ration shrink, you are forced to stop "spending" your time and start "investing" it.

There are no to-do lists. No dopamine loops. No social features. Just your data, delivered with brutal precision.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS:

The Bank: Define your non-negotiable Wake and Sleep boundaries.

The Tax: Input your fixed daily work hours.

The Friction: Adjust the "Entropy" slider to account for the unpredictable chaos of daily life (context switching, traffic, delays).

The Ration: The system calculates the exact minutes of free agency you have left today.

CORE FEATURES:

The 4x2 Timeline Widget: A minimalist daily map showing your Sleep, Work, and active Ration blocks.

The Entropy Buffer: Life isn't a perfect spreadsheet. Calculate the realistic "leakage" of your day so you aren't operating on false optimism.

Digital Stoicism Aesthetic: High-contrast, monospace typography inspired by industrial hardware and tactical flight instruments.

RATION PRO (The Navigator Upgrade)
Ration is free to download and use forever. For users who want maximum precision, we offer a single, one-time lifetime upgrade to unlock the full system:

The 2x2 Circular Gauge Widget: A highly detailed, segmented radial dial for your home screen.

Automated Calendar Sync: Ration Pro securely reads your local calendar and automatically deducts meetings and events from your daily Ration. No manual entry required.

Premium Interface Skins: Unlock the glowing phosphor "Terminal" skin and the dynamic "Spectrum" skin.

PRIVACY FIRST. ALWAYS.
Ration is an offline-first, local instrument. You do not need an account. We do not have servers. Even if you use the Pro Calendar Sync, your calendar data is processed strictly locally on your device to calculate your remaining time. We collect nothing, and we sell nothing.
