The arc is the app's own arc: guess → truth → it follows you → it speaks at the moment of choice → it remembers → it quotes you. The reader should feel the reality check while still on the store page. No hype, no cure claims — the transformation on sale is *you will know, and you can't unsee it*. ``` How much do you think you scrolled yesterday? Lock in a number. That guess is the first thing Wasted asks for — before it shows you anything. A few days later it shows you what the truth was. That moment is why this app exists. Almost nobody guesses high. Wasted is not another screen time app. It never blocks, never shames, never congratulates, never coaches. It is a mirror: it keeps the one number you avoid in front of you until you stop avoiding it. THE NUMBER FOLLOWS YOU A live counter on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, climbing while you scroll. White while the day is ordinary. Amber after an hour. Red when a quarter of your waking day is gone. You see it every time you pick up the phone — which is exactly the problem, working for you. IT SPEAKS AT THE MOMENT OF CHOICE Quiet nudges while you're inside the apps you chose to track: "you've already seen this feed." Never advice. Just the count, and what it means. IT QUOTES YOU During setup you finish one sentence: "i keep meaning to…" — play the ukulele, read, write, run. Mid-scroll, the mirror hands your own words back: "you said: play the ukulele." Hardest notification to swipe away that you'll ever receive. You wrote it. IT BILLS YOU Tonight's receipt: the day itemised, app by app, measured against your waking hours. The morning report at 8am: yesterday's bill, while today can still be different. Danger zones: the exact hours your life leaks. WASTED PRO — THE MIRROR REMEMBERS, AND ARRIVES EARLY The daily mirror is free, forever. Pro buys its memory: the long receipt — your all-time total, average day, worst day, month by month, and what your current rate costs in days per year. And the habit bell: when your costliest window keeps repeating, a notification arrives as it OPENS — "9pm–11pm. 5 of the last 7 nights, about 41m a time. today isn't written yet." Screen time apps report your past. This one shows up before it happens again. Yours forever with a single purchase — no subscription. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything is computed on your device. No account, no analytics, no server — nothing leaves your phone. We couldn't read your data if we wanted to. Wasted counts only the apps you pick. Is this how you want to spend your one life?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wasted at none against Credible's shown. Credible's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
