Your time has a price. Get 'Er Dunn shows you what you're paying - and helps you stop. Set your hourly rate, sort your apps into three buckets, and watch the meter run. Time in apps you've marked Negative costs money. Time in apps that move you forward earns it back. YOUR FOCUS SCORE - One number for the last 14 days, built from eight parts: scroll time, streak, balance, quiet hours, mornings, movement, trajectory and pacing - Tap any part to see what it measures, its 14-day history and the fastest way to move it - Judged against your own settings, never against other people HOW IT WORKS - Every day you get scroll time you choose - guilt-free minutes for scrolling - Past it, your blocked apps lock behind a pause screen showing exactly what the time cost: pages of your book unread, words of a language unlearned - Want in anyway? One honest tap buys a few more minutes - but it tells you it will end your streak first - Streaks count your days inside your scroll time. A flame for every day, a ring past six, and new colours at 25, 50, 90 and 100 MONEY, NOT GUILT - Your own hourly rate turns minutes into dollars, earned and lost - Big totals also read as business time: 8 hours is a work day, 40 a work week - A daily breakdown shows every app's time, money, and how it compares to yesterday - Turn on True cost to price your scroll time too GOALS THAT PUSH BACK - Pick goals - read a book, learn Spanish, get fit - and see what wasted time could have bought - Link positive apps to a goal (Audible to reading, Duolingo to Spanish) and time in them earns real progress automatically - Pages roll into chapters and books; words roll into subjects QUIET HOURS AND WIDGETS - A Focus Filter for your Do Not Disturb schedule, and Start and End Quiet Hours shortcuts - Four home-screen widgets built around your score, your buckets and your top goal YOUR HISTORY, KEPT - Week, month, year and all-time views with tappable charts - green, red and neutral time for every day - Per-app averages and trends: more or less than usual, at a glance - On iPhones in the EU, Apple lets Get 'Er Dunn read your Screen Time directly, so your full history syncs to your account. Elsewhere, Apple draws your numbers inside the app and your score builds from the apps you pick PRO Get 'Er Dunn Pro unlocks Year and All-Time history, month-by-month browsing, and per-app App Intentions - open limits with a mindful pause and per-app streaks. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It never polices anyone else's phone - this is a tool you point at yourself. Your data is never sold and never shared with advertisers. Blocking only ever applies to apps you choose, and you can pause it any time. An account is optional. Without one, everything stays on your device.
