Every other screen time app blocks you. Wasted just makes you aware. You don't need another wall between you and your phone โ€” you've tapped "Ignore" on Screen Time limits a hundred times. Wasted is different. It's a nudger, not a blocker. Pick the apps you waste time on (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Xโ€ฆ), set a reminder interval, and the moment you go over, Wasted calls you out โ€” with a personality you actually feel. MEET YOUR 5 ARCHETYPES Choose who nudges you. Each one delivers the same wake-up call in a completely different voice: โ€ข Minimalist โ€” clean, stoic, no drama. Just the facts. โ€ข Satirist โ€” sarcastic and funny. The friend who roasts you with love. โ€ข Philosopher โ€” reflective and thought-provoking. Makes you actually think. โ€ข Moralist โ€” serious and guilt-driven. No sugar-coating. โ€ข Provocateur โ€” aggressive and confrontational. For when you need a slap, not a tap. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that eat your time. 2. Set how long is "too long." 3. Keep scrolling โ€” Wasted lets you. But the second you cross the line, your archetype fires a notification. Still scrolling? It nudges again, every interval, until you stop. No blocking. No friction wall. No forcing. Just awareness, sharp enough to break the trance. 100% PRIVATE โ€” BY DESIGN โ€ข No account. No sign-up. No email. โ€ข No cloud. No sync. Nothing leaves your phone. โ€ข No analytics. No tracking. No data selling. No ads. Wasted uses Apple's official Screen Time (DeviceActivity) framework and runs entirely on-device. What you do on your phone stays on your phone. FREE FOREVER โ€ข Track up to 2 apps โ€ข All 5 archetypes included โ€ข Full monitoring and notifications GO PRO (14-day free trial) โ€ข Track up to 5 apps โ€ข The full message library for every archetype (endless variety) โ€ข Create your own custom archetypes โ€” write the voice that gets through to YOU $4.99/month or $29.49/year (save ~50%). Same 14-day free trial on both. WHO IT'S FOR If native Screen Time limits never stuck, if app blockers feel like punishment, and if you'd rather be reminded than restricted โ€” Wasted is built for you. Awareness-based self-control for people who want a tool with a personality, not another sterile productivity app. Stop doom-scrolling. Start noticing.
