Always visible. Never in the way.

The counter lives in your menu bar and changes color as your screen time grows. Green, yellow, then red.

Your thresholds. Your colors.

Set the boundaries that make sense for your day. Choose any color you want. The defaults are just a starting point.

Everything you need, one click away.

Click the counter to see today's total, yesterday's screen time, your 7-day average, current streak, and a mini bar chart of your week, all in a single compact popover. Pause tracking or open your full history without switching apps.

See your trends. Spot your patterns.

The history window shows daily and monthly bar charts colored by your thresholds. Track your streak, see your longest run, and export everything to CSV when you need the raw data.

Switch to icon mode. A small colored dot in your menu bar that changes with your thresholds. All the awareness, none of the numbers.
