## What is Time Debt?

Your screen limit forgets when you ignore it. Time Debt remembers tomorrow.

Borrow 10 minutes today, and tomorrow begins with 10 fewer.

Time Debt makes extra screen time a deliberate choice. When your selected apps reach their daily allowance, you can stop—or borrow a controlled amount that is automatically deducted from a future allowance.

FOR YOURSELF

Create private limits for social media, videos, games and other distracting apps.

- See today's and tomorrow's allowance at a glance
- Borrow only when you intentionally choose to
- Automatically reduce tomorrow's allowance
- Protect bedtime, study and focus periods
- Earn limited Flex Minutes by stopping early
- Track time reclaimed without shame-based streaks
- Use widgets and borrowed-time Live Activities

FOR FAMILIES

Replace repeated "five more minutes" arguments with a rule everyone can understand.

- Create school-day, weekend and bedtime plans
- Let family members request more time
- See the exact effect before a parent approves
- Protect settings with guardian authentication
- Use optional parent-controlled Points and rewards
- Review progress without rankings
- Keep each device's configuration private

INCLUDED FOR EVERYONE

Every download includes a working Time Debt plan, app selection, basic borrowing, tomorrow deduction, debt protection, emergency access and local progress.

OPTIONAL PRO

Pro adds multiple plans, custom schedules, advanced repayment, longer progress comparisons, focus programs and expanded family tools.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Time Debt requires no custom account and contains no advertising. Screen-time rules, selected-app tokens, progress, family requests and Points remain on the device.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-07-31

Time Debt 1.1 is a polish release — the same honest mechanism, with a better feel.

• Gentle optional sound cues for meaningful moments: confirming a borrow, activating your first plan, completing a focus session and reclaiming time
• New Sound Effects toggle in Settings — sounds are short, quiet and respect the silent switch
• A calmer, clearer confirmation when Pro activates, showing exactly what unlocked
• Refined button feedback and haptics throughout
• Small polish and accessibility refinements

Borrow today. Repay tomorrow. Reclaim your time.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-26
