Affluence turns screen time into a balance. Instead of only showing how many hours you spent on your phone, Affluence helps you manage your attention like money. Your day starts with a time allowance. Distracting apps reduce your balance. Focus sessions help you earn time back. The result is a simple, visual way to see where your time is going before the day runs out. Affluence is built for people who want more control over scrolling, social media, and late-night phone use — without relying on easy-to-ignore app limits. What you can do with Affluence: • Set a daily screen time allowance Choose how much time you want available each day and track how much remains. • See phone use as transactions Distracting app usage appears like charges in a ledger, making screen time easier to notice and understand. • Earn time back with focus sessions Use focused work, study, reading, or other intentional sessions to deposit time back into your day. • Understand your daily balance See how much time you have left, how much you’ve spent, and whether you’re still on track. • Make late-night scrolling harder to ignore Affluence can apply stricter rules at night, when endless scrolling is easiest to justify. • Build better awareness over time Use your Wallet and Ledger to understand patterns in your screen time and make better choices. Affluence does not shame you for using your phone. It simply makes your time visible. Your attention has value. Give it a balance.
