Gloam: Screen Time

Gloam is the screen-time app that's actually fun.

Most screen-time tools nag, shame, or bore you into deleting them. Gloam does the opposite. It turns cutting back into a game you actually want to play, with a currency to manage, a creature to keep happy, and friends to beat.

HOW IT WORKS

Every day you get Elixir, your right to screen time. The apps you are trying to avoid cost Elixir to open. The apps that are good for you cost nothing, and can even earn a little back. Watch the balance and you finally see what mindless scrolling really costs, in a way that feels tangible instead of preachy.

Sort your apps into three tiers. Green apps are free. Amber apps cost a little. Red apps, the endless-scroll ones, cost more the longer you stay. Run out of Elixir and those apps rest until tomorrow. It is a gentle nudge, never a hard lockout.

MEET YOUR CREATURE

At the heart of Gloam is a companion that thrives when you do. Bank your leftover Elixir and it grows, glows, and evolves. Blow your budget and it droops, but it never dies and it never shames you. Give it a name, feed it in the Den, and watch it react to your day.

EARN YOUR TIME BACK

Go for a walk, finish a workout, solve a quick puzzle, or take a mindful minute. Gloam turns your steps and activity into Elixir, so time off your phone quietly buys you a little more when you want it.

BEAT YOUR FRIENDS

Add friends and climb a fair leaderboard that compares how well each of you sticks to your own goals, not raw hours. Go head to head in matchups, chase group goals together, and send a friend some Elixir when they are running low.

TRACK, DON'T ENFORCE

Gloam is built on one idea. Make the cost of scrolling visible and a little bit fun, and you spend less without feeling deprived. It cheers you on. It never locks you out of your life.

Your solo world works fully offline. Add friends when you want the social side.
