## What is Screen Star?

You're not weak. Your attention is being stolen.

The average person loses 20.3 years of their life to their phone. Not metaphorically. Actual years, summed across actual hours, gone to feeds engineered by teams of engineers to keep you scrolling past the part of your day you wanted to live.

Screen Star is the screen-time app that stops pretending this is a willpower problem.

WHAT IT DOES

• Block the apps stealing your day. Set a goal once. Star handles the rest. No daily babysitting, no "are you sure?" pop-ups asking you to negotiate with yourself at 11pm.

• See your years coming back. A 90-box life grid shows you the years you've already lost and the years you can still reclaim. The math is unsentimental. The recovery is real.

• Pick how Star talks to you. Four moods: cheerful, sassy, sad, glowing. Star reflects how the day is going. Stay on track and Star glows. Slip, and Star slumps. You'll feel it before you read the number.

• Glowing on your home screen. The Screen Star widget puts the mascot on your home screen so you see how you're doing every time you unlock. A face you don't want to disappoint is a better blocker than any timer.

• A streak you'll actually keep. No 50-flame guilt loops. Just a quiet counter: how many days in a row you stayed under your goal. Cruising days add up. Star notices.

WHY IT WORKS

Most screen-time apps make you feel ashamed and then give you a "Just 1 More Minute" button. Screen Star doesn't. The blocker is the blocker. The mascot does the emotional work. You set it up once, then you live your life.

This isn't about deleting Instagram. It's about getting your evenings back. Your mornings. Your weekends. The hours you keep promising yourself you'll spend on the thing you actually care about.
