Earned Time

Earned Time flips the deal on screen time. Instead of guilt-tripping you with a weekly usage report, it pauses your distracting apps until you've done something that actually matters to you.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose the apps you want paused — social, games, whatever pulls you in.
2. Set up goals from the activities you want to do more of: reading, studying, language practice, anything.
3. Pick which apps count as productive for each activity.
4. Time you spend in those apps is tracked automatically and converts into unlock minutes.
5. Spend your earned minutes whenever you want. Your paused apps come back for exactly that long, then lock again on their own.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

No shaming. No arbitrary limits you'll disable in a weak moment. You set the exchange rate between effort and freedom, and the app just holds you to it.

FEATURES

• Automatic tracking — productive app time becomes unlock minutes with no timers to start and no sessions to remember • Focus sessions for offline work that no app can measure • Roll over unused minutes so a strong day can fund a slow one • See exactly how you earned: which activity, which apps, how many minutes • Anti-bypass controls — confirmation delays, a daily cap on manual unlocks, or hide the escape hatch entirely • Streaks and achievements • Daily or weekly goals

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

There is no account, no sign-up, and no server. Earned Time makes no network connections at all. Your Screen Time data and your goals never leave your iPhone.
