Screenworthy

Research-backed "nudges" with a tiny, but real cost are an effective way to change behaviors. Have you been surprised to see how much time you spend on your phone? Apps are useful, but cost us time with friends, family, and ourselves. Research shows that people use smartphones more than they think OR want, and financial incentives help reduce digital addiction. Screenworthy shows you the value of the time you've spent - in dollars, social life, and self-improvement - and surfaces it on a widget so you get constant reminders that you could be doing something else with your time.
