## What is Joyhour?

Earn your screen time instead of fighting it.

Joyhour turns your day into a simple balance: time you spend on good habits goes into your bank, and time you spend on fun comes out of it. Read for 30 minutes and you've earned 30 minutes of social media, YouTube or games, guilt-free.

No bans and no willpower battles. Just a clear view of where your time goes, and a good reason to do the important things first.

EARN TIME WITH GOOD HABITS
• Start a timer for reading, studying, working out, work or anything you choose
• When the session ends, the time lands in your bank
• Make some minutes worth more: a workout can earn 1.5× the time
• Turn on the step goal and earn time from your daily steps (Apple Health)

SPEND IT ON FUN
• Start a timer for social media, YouTube, shows or games
• Your balance counts down as you go
• Lock distracting apps with Screen Time until you start a fun session, or let your balance go negative and make it up later

FUN, IN BALANCE
Joyhour isn't a strict dopamine detox that asks you to quit everything. Fun is part of life; it just comes after the things that matter. Focus first, scroll later.

ALWAYS IN VIEW
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Home Screen widgets that show your balance
• Apple Watch app and complications
• Full history of every minute you earned and spent, with manual entries for the times you forgot the timer

YOUR RULES
• Keep your time forever, or reset it every night, week or month
• Create your own activities, give them their own rate, and archive the ones you no longer use

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your activities, sessions and steps stay on your devices.
