## Description

Know where your hours go — without handing them to another company.<br><br>Screen Ledger shows your screen time and lets you set your own app limits, entirely on your device. No account, no cloud, no accessibility service, no ads — and nothing is paywalled. When a limited app runs over, a calm full-screen reminder appears with a choice: close it, or hold a button for five more minutes. Friction, not force. You stay in charge.<br><br>EVERYTHING IS FREE<br>• Unlimited app limits — the feature other apps charge for<br>• Mindful pause, instant blocks, and weekday schedules included<br>• No subscription, no account, no ads, ever<br><br>PRIVATE IN A WAY OTHERS AREN&#39;T<br>Your usage data is sensitive. Screen Ledger reads it with Android&#39;s standard usage-access permission and keeps every byte on the phone. There is no analytics code and no way for the app to phone home — the only network use is Google Play&#39;s own billing, and only if you choose to leave a tip. No accessibility service is used or requested.<br><br>SEE TODAY CLEARLY<br>A clean dashboard: total screen time and a per-app breakdown with simple bars. Pull it up, get the picture, put the phone down.<br><br>LIMITS THAT RESPECT YOU<br>Give any app a daily minute budget. When it&#39;s spent, the gentle wall appears over the app. &quot;Close it&quot; sends you home; &quot;5 more minutes&quot; needs a deliberate 3-second hold — enough pause to make it a choice instead of a reflex.<br><br>MINDFUL PAUSE<br>Opening an app you&#39;ve chosen shows a short countdown first, then asks a simple question: how long do you want this visit to be? Pick 1 to 15 minutes and Screen Ledger holds you to it — when the time you chose runs out, the wall appears.<br><br>BLOCK AN APP RIGHT NOW<br>Need an app gone for the afternoon? Block it for 1 to 24 hours. The wall stays up — no five-more-minutes escape — and the block lifts by itself when the time is up.<br><br>SCHEDULES FOR REAL WEEKS<br>Quiet hours grew up: set as many windows as you like, each with its own days of the week and its own apps. Work mornings, school nights, weekend afternoons — each schedule shows the wall over its apps during its window.<br><br>SESSION REMINDERS<br>Optional and factual: after continuous time in an app you watch, a small notification tells you the number. Just the minutes, no judgement.<br><br>If Screen Ledger buys some of your time back, there&#39;s an optional tip jar in Settings. Tipping is never required — every feature is already yours.
