OwnTime. vs Pailtime

Track the time you mean to spend. Most time trackers answer "where did my hours go?" OwnTime answers a better question: which of the things you care about are you neglecting right now? You define a small set of priorities — the parts of your life that actually matter — and give each one a daily budget. Then you start and stop sessions as the day unfolds. At a glance you see what still has time left and what you've been ignoring. IPHONE AND APPLE WATCH OwnTime works on its own on iPhone — start, stop, and log sessions, get budget alarms, and follow the live session on the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Add an Apple Watch and it becomes a first-class second surface, built for the next two seconds of intent: start, stop, glance. Your priorities and sessions sync directly between your own devices, and neither one needs the other nearby. BUDGETS, NOT TIMESHEETS Each priority has a daily budget, so neglect is visible at a glance — no spreadsheets, no billing, no projects. Optional alarms warn you before a budget runs out. YOUR DATA, IN A FILE YOU OWN One tap exports your complete history as a standard SQLite database — the same file the app itself uses. Open it with any tool you like, or keep it as a backup. No export format to decode, no account to request it from. PRIVATE BY DESIGN OwnTime has no server and no account. Your priorities and sessions live on your iPhone and Apple Watch and sync directly between your own paired devices over Apple's WatchConnectivity — never through us, never to the cloud. No analytics, ever. ALSO INCLUDED • Home Screen widgets (small and medium) with your remaining budget at a glance • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Start, stop, and log past sessions with Siri and Shortcuts • Quick edits on iPhone or Apple Watch — name, daily budget, colour • Light and dark appearance OwnTime is for personal attention, not invoicing. If you want to see whether you're actually living by your priorities — not just logging hours — this is the tracker for you.

Doom-scrolling steals time in tiny pieces. Five minutes turns into twenty. Twenty turns into an hour. And suddenly, the time you meant to spend reading, moving, creating, resting, or being with people you care about is gone. Pailtime helps you take that time back. Instead of banning the apps you love, Pailtime gives your scrolling a limit you can actually feel: a daily bucket of scrolltime. Choose how much time you want before you start. Watch the bucket drain while you scroll. When the time is gone, the apps lock again. And when you spend time doing things that actually make your day better, you can earn some scrolltime back. No guilt. No cold turkey. No endless blocking. Just a calmer, more intentional way to use your phone — and slowly scroll half as much. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you tend to doom-scroll. Pailtime locks them using Apple’s Screen Time framework. 2. Want to scroll? Choose your limit first. Pour out 5, 10, or 15 minutes. 3. Your apps unlock, and your bucket drains live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. 4. When time runs out, the apps lock again. Done is done. 5. Recharge to earn scrolltime back. THE HALF PLAN You don’t have to quit scrolling. You just need it to take up less of your life. Tell Pailtime how much you scroll today, and the Half Plan builds a gentle path toward cutting that time in half. Your daily limit decreases a few minutes at a time, making the change feel achievable instead of extreme. You’ll see the full projection from day one and watch your progress build every day after. WHY IT WORKS - Intention before impulse - Choosing your limit before opening an app turns automatic scrolling into a conscious choice. - Time becomes visible - A draining bucket makes every minute feel real instead of disappearing unnoticed. - Earned, not banned - Recharge rewards the things you want more of in your life instead of punishing you for scrolling. - Recharge with brain games - Small steps are easier to keep - The Half Plan reduces your limit gradually, helping you change without feeling deprived. FEATURES • Scrolltime Bucket — your daily scrolling budget, visualized as living liquid • App Blocker — chosen apps stay locked until you intentionally start a scroll session • Live Countdown — see remaining time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Recharge — earn scrolltime through focus, meditation, reading, workouts, walks, learning, creating, and connecting and also by playing brain games • Half Plan — a gradual path toward scrolling 50% less • Resist — turn the urge to scroll into a challenge and climb the ranks as you resist • Insights — track today’s scrolltime, weekly trends, and urges resisted • Streaks — build momentum over time • Satisfying haptics and fluid bucket physics • Dark, calm, distraction-free design PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your attention is personal. Your data should be too. Pailtime uses Apple’s Screen Time framework. Your app choices are protected by Apple, and Pailtime cannot see what you do inside your apps. Your data stays on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your time is too valuable to lose one scroll at a time. Scroll on purpose. Fill your day with everything else.
