Most clocks lie. They show 24 hours—but after sleep, work, and obligations, your true free time is often just a few hours. Ration makes that scarcity visible so you can protect what matters. WHAT RATION DOES Ration calculates your remaining “Ration”—the minutes you actually have for yourself today. It uses a Linear Burn model with a Reality Cap: the number never exceeds the time you truly have until sleep. No phantom minutes. No wishful thinking. • Set wake, sleep, and work boundaries (guided setup on first launch) • Optional calendar integration subtracts today’s meetings on-device • Macro Goal: name a target and date (e.g. “21 days until Japan”) and track progress on the dashboard and widget • Optional local evening reminder near your sleep time (on-device only—no push server) HOME SCREEN WIDGETS • Ration Dashboard (4×2, free): timeline bar, remaining time, and flip to macro progress • Ration Gauge (2×2, Pro): circular instrument-style gauge Double-tap the left side of either widget to open System Config. Braun and Rams looks are free; Terminal and Spectrum unlock with Pro. RATION PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) New installs include 7 days of full Pro access on your device—not a subscription and not an auto-renewing trial. After that, unlock forever with a one-time purchase: • 2×2 circular gauge widget • Terminal & Spectrum skins • Entropy (transition cost) control No subscription. No account required. DESIGNED AS AN INSTRUMENT Inspired by Dieter Rams and digital stoicism: high contrast, no feeds, no dopamine loops. Your schedule stays on your device. Calendar access and reminders are optional and processed locally—we do not operate servers that collect your personal data. WHO IT’S FOR Anyone who wants to stop “spending” time and start investing it—in creation, connection, and rest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: iHour at 4 against Ration's 1. iHour also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
