How much sugar did you actually eat today? Most of us have no idea — it hides in bread, sauces, coffee drinks, and "healthy" snacks. Sugar Tracker gives you the answer in seconds: snap a photo of your food, and AI estimates the sugar in grams. Review it, adjust it, log it. Done. No calorie counting. No searching endless food databases. Just sugar — the one number you're trying to change. HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap a photo of your meal, snack, or drink — or pick one from your library. 2. The AI identifies each item on the plate and estimates its sugar in grams, with a likely range and a confidence level. 3. Review before saving — adjust the food, portion, or grams. You always make the final call. 4. Watch your daily total. Set a personal gram goal, or simply observe your intake without one. WHY SUGAR TRACKER - Honest estimates, not false precision. Every result shows a likely range and a confidence level, and nothing is logged until you confirm it. - Built for real food. Home-cooked plates, restaurant meals, packaged snacks — no barcode required. For packaged foods, add an optional photo of the nutrition label for a clearer estimate. - Manual logging, always. Already know the grams? Type them in — no photo needed. - Your sugar, day by day. A simple calendar shows every day's total and entries. Backdate an entry or fix one anytime. - A goal that's yours. Sugar Tracker doesn't prescribe a target. Choose your own daily reference point — or track without one. - Sugar only, on purpose. If full calorie trackers feel like a second job, this is the focused alternative: one number, logged in seconds. CUTTING BACK ON SUGAR? Whether you're doing a no-sugar challenge, starting a sugar detox, taming a sweet tooth, or just curious what's hiding in your food — you can't change what you don't measure. Seeing the grams is the first step to eating less of them. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - Only the photos you choose are sent for analysis — your food photo and an optional label photo, nothing else. - Your age and gender stay on your device and are never sent with your photos. - Only confirmed entry thumbnails are kept, on your device. Delete an entry and they're gone.

You're not weak. Your attention is being stolen. The average person loses 20.3 years of their life to their phone. Not metaphorically. Actual years, summed across actual hours, gone to feeds engineered by teams of engineers to keep you scrolling past the part of your day you wanted to live. Screen Star is the screen-time app that stops pretending this is a willpower problem. — WHAT IT DOES • Block the apps stealing your day. Set a goal once. Star handles the rest. No daily babysitting, no "are you sure?" pop-ups asking you to negotiate with yourself at 11pm. • See your years coming back. A 90-box life grid shows you the years you've already lost and the years you can still reclaim. The math is unsentimental. The recovery is real. • Pick how Star talks to you. Four moods: cheerful, sassy, sad, glowing. Star reflects how the day is going. Stay on track and Star glows. Slip, and Star slumps. You'll feel it before you read the number. • Glowing on your home screen. The Screen Star widget puts the mascot on your home screen so you see how you're doing every time you unlock. A face you don't want to disappoint is a better blocker than any timer. • A streak you'll actually keep. No 50-flame guilt loops. Just a quiet counter: how many days in a row you stayed under your goal. Cruising days add up. Star notices. — WHY IT WORKS Most screen-time apps make you feel ashamed and then give you a "Just 1 More Minute" button. Screen Star doesn't. The blocker is the blocker. The mascot does the emotional work. You set it up once, then you live your life. This isn't about deleting Instagram. It's about getting your evenings back. Your mornings. Your weekends. The hours you keep promising yourself you'll spend on the thing you actually care about. — WHAT'S INSIDE • Smart blocking powered by Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) • Custom daily goals per app, per category, or all-at-once • Year-by-year progress: lost, saved, reclaimed • Lock screen + home screen widget with live mascot state • Four mascot tones to match how you talk to yourself • Streak tracking, weekly + monthly progress views — PRIVACY Screen Star uses Apple's Family Controls and DeviceActivity frameworks. App usage data stays on your device. We never see which apps you use or how long you use them. Your screen time is yours.
