Tired of doomscrolling? Earn your screen time through real movement. Intelligent app blocking that only counts true visual screen time: free background audio, workout immunity, and rest day reserves—with zero subscriptions and 100% on-device privacy. Most screen time blockers treat you like a child, forcing rigid locks that punish you for listening to music or working out. EarnTime is different. It seamlessly aligns your physical health with your digital habits: close your Apple Watch rings, earn minutes, and spend them without guilt. SMART SCREEN TIME: ONLY REAL USAGE COUNTS • Free Screen-Off Audio: Listening to YouTube, Spotify, or podcasts with your screen locked in your pocket? It won't cost you a single second. We detect display state and only count time when your eyes are actually on the screen. • Workout Immunity: Out for a run, cycling, or lifting at the gym? Monitored apps stay completely unlocked during active Apple Watch workout sessions. Never get locked out of your workout playlist or training log. • Exercise Adds Time: Each synced Exercise ring minute earns one minute of unlocked app allowance. Active movement above your daily baseline earns an extra bonus. • Keep Room for Rest: Real life happens. You start each day with a 30-minute grace period, backed by a 60-minute weekly reserve (up to 120 minutes) for rest days and recovery. • Intelligent Shielding: When your daily allowance and reserve run out, selected distracting apps are gently shielded until you get moving again. A GLANCE ON YOUR WRIST & HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch Companion: Check your live remaining allowance, reserve, and status directly from your wrist. • iOS Widgets: Beautiful Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets keep your balance visible at all times. • History & Marks: Track your weekly progress, celebrate streaks without punitive broken-streak penalties, and collect editorial weekly covers. WHY EARNTIME IS DIFFERENT • No Subscriptions: Free to start with 1 monitored app. Unlock up to 10 apps with a single, tiny $1.99 one-time purchase. Future core updates included forever. • 100% Private & Local: No accounts, no ads, no trackers, and no remote servers. Everything runs strictly on your device via Apple’s native Screen Time and HealthKit APIs. • Guilt-Free Balance: We don't believe in digital starvation. Unused daily time rolls over into your reserve, turning your screen time into a healthy, earned reward. COMPATIBILITY & NOTES Requires an iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later and Apple Watch Exercise ring data in Apple Health. Health read access and individual Screen Time authorization are required. The Apple Watch companion app requires watchOS 10.0 or later. Balance updates after exercise data syncs via HealthKit. Sync and callback frequency are managed by iOS.
