## What is Moth?

Your time has a price. Moth shows you what you're paying - and helps you stop.

Set your hourly rate, sort your apps into three buckets, and watch the meter run. Time in apps you've marked Negative costs money. Time in apps that move you forward earns it back.

YOUR FOCUS SCORE
- One number for the last 14 days, built from five tiles: Scroll Control, Habits, Balance, Body and Progress
- Ten levels from Doomscrolling to Untethered, so you always know where you stand
- Tap any tile to see what it measures, its 14-day history and the fastest way to move it
- Judged against your own settings, never against other people

FRIENDS AND CHALLENGES
- Make a profile, add friends by @username or from your contacts, and compare Focus Scores, streaks and badges on a leaderboard
- Everyone gets the same challenge on the same day - call a friend, read a book, a walk without your phone. Fitness challenges count from Apple Health once you tap Start, and some are timed
- Seventeen badges earned from your days, kept on your account

HOW IT WORKS
- Every day you get scroll time you choose - guilt-free minutes for scrolling
- Past it, your blocked apps lock behind a pause screen showing exactly what the time cost: pages of your book unread, words of a language unlearned
- Want in anyway? One honest tap buys a few more minutes - but it tells you it will end your streak first
- Streaks count your days inside your scroll time. A flame for every day, a ring past six, and new colours at 25, 50, 90 and 100
- Alerts on the whole day's screen time against a daily target you set

MONEY, NOT GUILT
- Your own hourly rate turns minutes into dollars, earned and lost
- Big totals also read as business time: 8 hours is a work day, 40 a work week
- A daily breakdown shows every app's time, money, and how it compares to yesterday
- Turn on True cost to price your scroll time too

GOALS THAT PUSH BACK
- Pick goals - read a book, learn Spanish, get fit - and see what wasted time could have bought
- Link positive apps to a goal (Audible to reading, Duolingo to Spanish) and time in them earns real progress automatically
- Pages roll into chapters and books; words roll into subjects

QUIET HOURS AND WIDGETS
- A Focus Filter for your Do Not Disturb schedule, and Start and End Quiet Hours shortcuts
- Home-screen widgets built around your score, today's challenge, your friends' leaderboard, your buckets and your top goal

YOUR HISTORY, KEPT
- Week, month, year and all-time views with tappable charts - green, red and neutral time for every day
- Weekly, monthly and yearly reviews that tell the story of your days
- On iPhones in the EU, Apple lets Moth read your Screen Time directly, so your full history syncs to your account. Elsewhere, Apple draws your numbers inside the app and your score builds from the apps you pick

PRO
Moth Pro unlocks Year and All-Time history, month-by-month browsing, Earn Scroll Time by moving, the In-Flight Pass, and per-app App Intentions - open limits with a mindful pause and per-app streaks.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
It never polices anyone else's phone - this is a tool you point at yourself. Your data is never sold and never shared with advertisers. Blocking only ever applies to apps you choose, and you can pause it any time. Friends see your score, streak and badges - never your apps, minutes or money, and your sleep and movement figures only if you choose to share them.

An account is optional. Without one, everything stays on your device.

## Frequently asked questions about Moth

### What is Moth's Focus Score?

Moth's Focus Score is a single metric representing your digital habits over the last 14 days, derived from five key areas: Scroll Control, Habits, Balance, Body, and Progress. It ranges from 'Doomscrolling' to 'Untethered', offering a clear indication of your focus level.

### How does Moth monetize screen time?

You set your own hourly rate, and Moth converts your app usage into monetary terms. Time spent in apps marked as 'Negative' costs you money, while time in 'positive' apps can earn it back, making the cost of unproductive screen time tangible.

### Can I use Moth with friends?

Yes, Moth allows you to create a profile, add friends by username or contacts, and compare Focus Scores, streaks, and badges on a leaderboard. Daily challenges are also shared among friends to encourage collective progress.

### What are the subscription plans for Moth Pro?

Moth Pro offers two subscription options: 'Pro Monthly' at $9.99 per month and 'Pro Yearly' at $59.99 per year. These plans unlock advanced features like Year and All-Time history, and earning scroll time by moving.

### How does Moth handle screen time data?

In the EU, Moth can directly read your Screen Time data from Apple for full history syncing. In other regions, Apple provides the numbers within the app, and your score is built from the apps you select.

### Does Moth have ads?

No, Moth does not contain advertisements. As indicated by the 'hasAds' flag being false, users can expect an ad-free experience.

### What is the age rating for Moth?

Moth has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users. This rating suggests it contains no content that is considered inappropriate for young children.

Insights: a new tab with Improve, your reviews and the full Statement, and a look at any single app.

Your profile icon: pick an emoji and a colour, and friends see it beside your name.

This versions added additional checks for new users setting up the app and tweets to how time is checked for history and closing of apps as time is met.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-15

• Focus Score: one number for your last 14 days, built from eight parts you can tap — scroll time, streak, balance, quiet hours, mornings, movement, trajectory and pacing. Tap any part for its 14-day history, tap a day to see the score it had then, then jump straight to that day in History.
• A new Dashboard: your score and streak up top, one card for today and your tracked apps with Spend, Time or Goal on a switch, and your goals as tiles.
• Streaks you can see: a flame for every day, a ring past six, and new colours at 25, 50, 90 and 100 days. A day breaks the moment you pass your scroll time — earning more time later doesn't bring it back.
• Scroll time: the free minutes you give yourself each day are now called scroll time everywhere. A new True cost switch under Pricing prices those minutes too, if you want the whole picture.
• Four new home-screen widgets built around the score, the buckets and your top goal.
• Quiet Hours: a Focus Filter for your Do Not Disturb schedule, plus Start and End Quiet Hours shortcuts.
• Setup checklist: Screen Time access, usage sharing, apps to track, total screen time, Positive apps and notifications, each with the exact step to take.
• History: whole-phone charts on every iPhone, business-week totals, and a note on when your history starts.
• Light and dark appearance setting.
