Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find my actual screen time?

iPhone: Settings > Screen Time. Android: Settings > Digital Wellbeing. The weekly averages there are more accurate than guessing.

How is "years lost" calculated?

Total daily screen hours × 365 × (life expectancy - current age) / 8760 hours/year = years on screens.

Is all screen time bad?

No. Screen time for work, learning, or meaningful connection is valuable. This tool highlights the passive/addictive time that compounds into years of lost opportunity.

Is my data stored?

No. All calculations run in your browser. Nothing is saved or transmitted.
