You're in dumb mode 47
The apps you can't put down book real revenue from your attention. Enter your day and see what you're worth to them — per hour, per day, and over the next few years.
Since you opened this page they've made about $0.000 off you.
Just the distracting ones — the feeds, not the group chat. US 18–24 average is about 3 hours a day on social media alone.
What each platform books in US revenue per hour of a user's time. Same hour, five-times difference.
Four is a degree. Ten is the rest of your twenties.
Don't be screendumb.
You're in smart mode
Set a daily budget for the apps that pull you. Every hour under it is an hour they don't get paid for — and an hour you get back.
Down from 3.0h a day. Most people who try it land between 45 minutes and an hour and a half.
First open of the day, your apps are closed and a wheel asks for today's number. Pick one, or keep yesterday's with a tap.
Apps stay closed until you open them for a set time. A short pause, then they open. A warning before they close.
Exam Thursday? Budget it to 20 minutes on Tuesday. The day of, it holds — a budgeted day can't be raised same-day.
Editing the plan takes a code sent to your email. Budgeting a day ahead is the one change that never does.
Choose a stretch of days. Your budgets apply automatically and your code is burned until it ends — no edits, no loosening, no "just this once." Nobody else lets you tie yourself to the mast.
Screensmart. Look at you.
iPhone · free · nothing about you leaves your phone except the email you use for codes.
Between about $0.30 and $0.70 for every hour you give them, depending on the app. Instagram and Facebook are the richest per hour; X is the poorest. At three hours a day that's around $438 a year, and you're paid nothing for it. The calculator above uses each platform's reported revenue and time-spent figures.
No. There's no parent, no monitoring, no reports. ScreenDumb is for adults — mostly college students — who want to decide their own day. You set the budget, you start the sessions, and lock in is a promise you make to yourself.
Changing your plan normally takes a code sent to your email — a small pause before you loosen anything. Lock in burns that code for a stretch of days you choose, so your budgets apply automatically and the plan can't be loosened at all. Deleting the app or turning off Screen Time still works. That's the only way out, and you'll know you did it.
Nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Your plan and your usage stay on your phone. The one thing that ever leaves it is the email you give for codes, used only to send them.
Not yet. ScreenDumb runs on Apple's Screen Time system, so it's iPhone-only (iOS 18.5 or later).
