All 168 turns your week into what it actually is: a fixed 168-hour budget. Most calendars show you meetings. All 168 shows you the truth: after sleep, work, meals, and commute are subtracted, how many hours are actually left for you? HOW IT WORKS Set your fixed commitments — sleep, work or classes, meals, commute — with simple sliders. All 168 auto-distributes them across a 7×24 grid of your week and calculates exactly what's left: your discretionary time, down to the hour. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY LIVE - Grid view — see all 168 hours of your week at a glance, color-coded by category - Presets — start from Balanced 9-to-5, Side-Hustler / Founder, or Focused Student, then customize - Calendar view — your week laid out day-by-day, hour-by-hour - Donut breakdown — a visual split of where your 168 hours actually go - Manual overrides — tap any hour to reassign it by hand - Share your week — export a clean summary of your time budget to send or save WHY IT'S DIFFERENT All 168 doesn't ask you to plan an idealized week. It starts from the hard constraint everyone shares — 168 hours, no more, no less — and shows you what's real. No streaks to maintain, no guilt mechanics. Just the math. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your categories and schedule are stored only on your device. No account, no analytics SDK, no ad network, nothing sent anywhere. Grid view is free forever. Calendar and Donut views are a one-time unlock — no subscription.
