About this app
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.
What's new
Version 1.7 · Nov 8, 2026
Fixes your streak resetting even when you used Earned Time every day. Productive time tracked after you last opened Earned Time on a given day wasn't being counted, so the next day your streak could drop back to 1. Those days now count toward your streak and your stats. Also: streak celebrations no longer go missing when they arrive together with an achievement, and you can now rate Earned Time from Settings.
