You're deeper than you think. Every missed hour of sleep pulls you further underwater. Resurface turns your sleep debt into a living ocean โ€” and your goal is simple: rise to the surface. Your sleep debt becomes meters of depth. Skip a night? You sink. Sleep well? You rise. The entire app transforms around you โ€” backgrounds darken as you descend and brighten as you climb toward sunlight. It's not just a tracker. It's an experience. FIVE OCEAN ZONES. ONE GOAL. - Surface (0m) โ€” Fresh air. You made it. - Shallow Waters (1โ€“20m) โ€” Light filters from above. - Mid Depths (21โ€“60m) โ€” The surface seems far away. - Deep Waters (61โ€“100m) โ€” Darkness surrounds you. - The Abyss (101m+) โ€” The pressure is immense. Every zone has its own atmosphere, colors, and guidance. Your progress isn't a chart โ€” it's a world you live in. LOG MORE THAN JUST HOURS. Track 11 factors that shape your sleep โ€” room temperature, noise, screen time, caffeine, stress, exercise, and more. Resurface calculates how your habits help or hurt recovery with an environment score that directly impacts your depth. CELEBRATE EVERY BREAKTHROUGH. Cross into a new zone? Full-screen celebration with particles, haptics, and a moment that makes progress feel real. Reach the surface? An epic event with sunlight, confetti, and your swimmer breaking through the waves. 20 ACHIEVEMENTS TO UNLOCK. From First Breath (first sleep log) to Diamond Sleeper (100-day streak), earn badges across five categories: Depth, Streak, Consistency, Recovery, and Special. WEEKLY INSIGHTS & SHARING. Weekly averages, depth changes, streaks, and consistency scores. Zone-specific sleep tips. Five beautifully designed share cards for social media โ€” show your depth, celebrate milestones, or announce you've surfaced. SMART NOTIFICATIONS. Bedtime reminders, morning log prompts, streak protection alerts, and weekly reports โ€” all customizable. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS. See your depth, zone, streak, and last night's sleep at a glance. Widget backgrounds match your current zone. PREMIUM. - Sleep Consistency Score (0โ€“100 gauge) - Recovery Projections (days to surface at different sleep targets) - Apple Health sync with sleep stage analysis - Full sleep history - Data export - Priority support No ads. No social feeds. No gimmicks. Just a beautiful, focused tool to help you pay off your sleep debt โ€” one good night at a time. See how deep you are. Start rising.

The average person will spend more than 10 years of their life staring at a phone. ScreenFine is how you take some of it back. Most screen time apps are easy to ignore. You watch the timer tick, tap "ignore for 15 minutes," and nothing changes. ScreenFine actually stops you. Go over your daily limit and the apps you chose lock shut. The only way back in is real effort: 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a logged workout, or 10 mindful minutes. Your body clears the block, not your wallet. And an AI villain roasts every slip. No willpower required. The consequence does the work. HOW IT WORKS - Set your daily screen time limit, anywhere from 1 to 8 hours - Cross it and your chosen apps shield closed at the system level - Earn the unlock with 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a workout, or 10 mindful minutes - Miss the window and it counts as a slip you can see, never a charge - 7 days free, then $1 a week. The subscription is the only thing you ever pay. BEAT PHONE ADDICTION FOR REAL Other blockers are a suggestion you can swipe past. ScreenFine locks at the OS level using Apple Screen Time, so going over carries a real consequence and stopping the scroll finally sticks. Built for doomscrolling, dopamine detox, focus, digital wellbeing, and self control, and friendly for ADHD brains that need a firmer stop than a banner. MEET YOUR AI VILLAIN Pick a character who roasts you every time you slip. The Banker counts your losses. The Reaper reminds you time is finite. The Ex judges in silence. The Coach pushes harder. Personal, savage messages, served on your lock screen.
