Screen time for couples. Cut it together. Burn is a screen time app for couples. Invite your partner, share one pool of screen time, and share whichever to-do lists you like.

Just someone in your corner, and a flame worth keeping lit. BURN DUO: SHARE IT WITH YOUR PARTNER (FREE) • One shared screen time pool, with a daily goal either of you can change • Share any to-do list: groceries, chores, date night plans. Everything else stays private • Either of you ticks a shared task off, it's done for both • One log pile: tasks either of you finishes refuel you both • See your partner's day: how much they burned, and where it went by the app groups they name • Get a heads-up when your partner adds or finishes a shared task • One flame, one streak.

Burn works just as well on your own. GET STUFF DONE • Give every task its own log reward, so big jobs pay more • Daily, weekday, or custom repeating tasks for your habits • Plan Today, Tomorrow, and the days ahead • Sort tasks into color-coded categories, private or shared • Shake to undo if you tap too soon A FLAME WORTH KEEPING LIT • Burn reacts to your day: happy when you're on track, worried when time runs low, out cold when it's gone • Tap, pet, and drag logs in to feed him • Dozes off at night with a sleepy face • Keep Burn lit all day to build your streak YOU'RE IN CONTROL • Choose exactly which apps and categories burn fuel • Everything else stays open • Set your own daily budget • No account, no sign-in, no ads. BURN+ (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • 13 flame colors, each with a matching app icon • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a task list you can check off without opening the app • Live Activity: watch your fuel count down in the Dynamic Island • Low fuel warnings before your apps lock • Screen Time Insights: see which apps ate your time, by day, week, and month Burn uses Apple's Screen Time to track and limit only the apps you choose. What you do in them never leaves your device. In a Duo, your partner sees only your totals, the app groups you name and your shared lists, synced through your iCloud.
