Your screen time, next to your friends'. Least time wins. 5 hours a day on your phone is 76 days a year. Daboo helps you win them back by turning it into a daily race with the people who'll actually notice. IT TRACKS ITSELF Give Daboo Screen Time access once and it counts your daily total automatically. Nothing to type, nothing to remember. SET A GOAL Pick a daily limit and see every day against it. Time over your goal shows up in orange, so a bad week is obvious at a glance. RACE YOUR FRIENDS A daily leaderboard ranks you and your friends by who used their phone least. Switch between yesterday, your 7-day average and your 30-day average. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND A morning notification tells you how you placed, and a weekly recap shows how your week went. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Only a rounded daily total leaves your phone, never which apps you used, and only friends you add can see it. No ads. No third-party trackers. Delete your account and all your data any time. Put the phone down. Your friends will notice.

No blocking. No limits. No guilt. Just the number. This app doesn't promise to fix you. Most screen time apps try to control you: block apps, set limits, lecture you with guilt trips and streaks. Another24 does none of that. It just shows you the truth, and trusts you to do something with it. THE WIDGET Add it to your home screen and watch your total climb. Every time you unlock your phone, there it is: your cumulative screen time, right where you'll see it. THE CALENDAR A day-by-day record of your usage since install. No averages, no spin. Just the receipts, one ring per day. THE MILESTONES Every 24 hours of total screen time, you'll get a notification. Another 24 hours, gone. That's it. No judgment, just a marker. PRIVACY FIRST Your screen time data stays on your device. No account required. Your number is yours.
