How many hours of your day are truly yours? oh my hours draws each hour of your day as a single mark: yours if you stayed off the apps you chose as distractions, lost if you didn't. Your whole year fits on one screen, one mark per day. It's not a screen time report. It asks a different question: how many hours stayed distraction free today? How it works 1. Pick the apps and categories that distract you. 2. Go about your day. A single second in one of them puts that hour on the line. 3. Checkpoint appears. Keep the hour by closing the app, or continue and lose it. 4. Choose your day limit. Too many lost hours and the day is lost too. Four views of your time • Day. 24 hours, one glance. • Week. Seven days, side by side. • Month. Four weeks in one look. • Year. Your whole year, on one screen. Widgets for where you actually look Home screen and lock screen widgets, in every size, for every view. Put your grid in front of yourself, not behind another tap. Share what you see A single tap turns any view into a clean image. Post it, save it, or send it to a friend. Private by design Everything stays on your device. No account. No server. No analytics. Export your full history to CSV, anytime, free. Not a blocker oh my hours won't lock you out or shame you into stopping. At your hour limit, checkpoint shows up with two options: keep the hour by closing the app, or continue and lose it. Continuing is always allowed. You can switch checkpoint off Free and Full Free, forever: day and week views, basic widgets, the default icon set, full data export. Full Version unlocks month and year views, their widgets, and more icon sets. One yearly payment or a one-time purchase. About the name It's what you'll say the first time you look at the grid.

Read on e-ink, not on glass. ReadIsland sends articles, notes, and long reads from your iPhone straight to your Boox e-reader. Paste or share, tap once, and it opens on your Boox — no cables, no accounts, no clutter. The pieces you mean to read pile up all day: the long essay, the careful argument, the story someone spent a month writing. They wait in a tab, then a folder, then a quiet sense of guilt. ReadIsland is where they finally land — on a calm grey page, easy on the eyes, the way long-form was meant to be read. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • One-tap delivery — share or paste, then send. It appears on your Boox automatically. • Made for e-ink — no glow, no blue light, no notifications pulling at your attention. • No account needed — pair your Boox once with a 6-digit code. That's the whole setup. • Private by design — your reading is yours. We never collect what you read. • Sends in the background — keep reading while the next piece arrives. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install ReadIsland on your iPhone and the companion app on your Boox. 2. Pair once with the 6-digit code shown on your Boox. 3. Share any article to ReadIsland, or paste text, and tap Send. 4. It opens on your Boox, ready to read tonight. Send it now. Read it later, when the hour is quiet and the screen has stopped asking for anything. —————————— ReadIsland Pro (Auto-Renewable Subscription) Subscribe to Pro to deliver documents to your Boox / E-ink reader without limits — the free tier's 30-deliveries-per-month cap is removed.
