Earned Time
Read full descriptionHide full description
Earned Time flips the deal on screen time. Instead of guilt-tripping you with a weekly usage report, it pauses your distracting apps until you've done something that actually matters to you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want paused — social, games, whatever pulls you in. 2. Set up goals from the activities you want to do more of: reading, studying, language practice, anything. 3. Pick which apps count as productive for each activity. 4. Time you spend in those apps is tracked automatically and converts into unlock minutes. 5. Spend your earned minutes whenever you want. Your paused apps come back for exactly that long, then lock again on their own. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT No shaming. No arbitrary limits you'll disable in a weak moment. You set the exchange rate between effort and freedom, and the app just holds you to it. FEATURES • Automatic tracking — productive app time becomes unlock minutes with no timers to start and no sessions to remember • Focus sessions for offline work that no app can measure • Roll over unused minutes so a strong day can fund a slow one • See exactly how you earned: which activity, which apps, how many minutes • Anti-bypass controls — confirmation delays, a daily cap on manual unlocks, or hide the escape hatch entirely • Streaks and achievements • Daily or weekly goals PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account, no sign-up, and no server. Earned Time makes no network connections at all. Your Screen Time data and your goals never leave your iPhone.

DICTALIA — RECORD, TRANSCRIBE, UNDERSTAND Turn your conversations into clear, actionable text. Dictalia records your conversations, transcribes them, and generates structured summaries on your iPhone or Mac. Work meetings, interviews, classes, consultations, personal thoughts, or voice notes: easily find out what was said, by whom, and when. LIVE TRANSCRIPTION Start recording and follow the transcription as the conversation unfolds. Dictalia uses Whisper models running locally to turn speech into text, even without an internet connection. Choose the transcription model that best suits your device and needs. SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION Dictalia distinguishes between the different people taking part in a conversation. Each contribution is attributed to its speaker, making conversations easier to read and understand. You can then rename the speakers to create a perfectly organized transcript. SYNCHRONIZED AUDIO AND TEXT Listen to your recording while following the corresponding section of the transcript. Each segment includes a timestamp, allowing you to quickly find an important sentence without having to search through the entire recording. CLEAR, STRUCTURED SUMMARIES Turn a long conversation into an immediately actionable summary. Depending on the recording’s content, Dictalia can highlight: • an overall summary; • key points; • decisions made; • action items; • next steps. Choose the engine that works best for you: • Claude, for detailed, in-depth summaries; • local processing with Apple Intelligence on compatible devices, keeping summary generation on your device. YOU STAY IN CONTROL OF YOUR TEXT A transcript is never set in stone. Correct a word, rephrase a sentence, edit a recording’s title, or rename a speaker. The result remains your text: you can edit, copy, and use it however you like. AN EASY-TO-BROWSE HISTORY All your recordings are organized in a clear history. Use search to find a meeting, interview, or personal reflection, then access its audio, transcript, and summary. Each entry shows information such as its duration, whether a summary is available, and the number of speakers detected. PRIVACY AND PROCESSING OPTIONS Dictalia lets you prioritize local processing. Transcription can be performed directly on your device without sending the audio to a remote service. When you choose a feature that uses a cloud service, you remain in control of its activation. Nothing is sent without your action. DICTALIA HELPS YOU: • keep an accurate record of a meeting; • prepare meeting minutes; • find a decision or important piece of information; • organize an interview or consultation; • turn a voice note into text; • summarize a long conversation; • centralize your recordings and ideas. Speak freely. Dictalia takes care of the rest. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
