TimeBudget

Give each app a daily time budget and watch it count down as you use it.

How it works

1. You set the time.Pick an app, give it a daily amount. Ten seconds.
2. Using it spends the time.The number goes down while the app is on screen — not while it sits in the background.
3. At zero it stops.A gentle reminder, or a full-screen one you have to walk past. Your choice, per app.

What else it does

• Group several apps into one shared budget — 45 minutes across all your social apps, however you split it.
• Different amounts on different days, because weekends aren't Tuesdays.
• A quiet notification with today's remaining time, so you rarely need to open the app at all.
• Planned versus actual, week by week — described, never graded.
• A home screen widget, dark mode, and 24 languages including full right-to-left support.

Your data

How you use your apps is sensitive information, so TimeBudget keeps it on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server storing your usage. The app needs Android's usage access permission to measure screen time at all — that is what the numbers are computed from, and it never leaves the device. Read the full privacy policy.
