About

Destime

Read full description

Do you spend too much time on your device? Do you exercise too little? This app will help you solve both problems by limiting the usage time of your devices based on how much you've worked out the day before. Yesterday you worked out for 30 minutes? Then today you can use your device for 30 minutes. This will push you to workout more and use your devices less. Your workouts are read from the Health app. Some workouts, like walking, are automatically added by your iPhone or your Apple Watch while you exercise. The app allows you to manually add other types of workouts to the Health app. To limit the use of your device this app will help you configure the Apple Screen Time feature. You can also set a custom multiplier for each workout. For example you can set a 2x multiplier to earn two minutes of screen time for each minute of workout. Set a high multiplier for more demanding activities like running or going to the gym. This will push you to put more effort into the workouts that matter most.

Sober-ish is a calm calendar for the days you drank, used cannabis, or vaped. Not a quit-or-fail streak counter. Just an honest, private picture of how your month really went, so cutting back feels doable. ONE TAP A DAY Tap a day, tick what applies. Days with nothing logged stay quiet; logged days get a soft color, so patterns show up on their own. SEE WHERE YOU STAND • Days since you last logged each one, and your longest break • How many days this week or month, side by side • Works for alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine. Track only what matters to you. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Sign in with a one-time email code. No passwords, no ads, no tracking, and your logs are never sold or shared. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings anytime. SOBER-ISH PRO • How much, not just if: record amounts and see what a typical day looks like • Mood, context & notes: how the day felt, who you were with, and a line on what happened • Widgets: log from your Home Screen, see days since on your Lock Screen • The long view: 90-day and yearly stats, plus six-month trends Pro is available as a yearly subscription ($19.99/year with a 7-day free trial), a monthly subscription ($2.99/month), or a one-time lifetime purchase ($39.99). Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
