Wasted - Aware Screen Time
Nudges to Break the Scroll
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now see exactly where your time goes: per-app minutes on your dashboard. Set a limit, keep scrolling, get called out when you overdo it. No blocking. No account.
Every other screen time app blocks you. Wasted just makes you aware.
You don't need another wall between you and your phone — you've tapped "Ignore" on Screen Time limits a hundred times. Wasted is different. It's a nudger, not a blocker. Pick the apps you waste time on (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X…), set a reminder interval, and the moment you go over, Wasted calls you out — with a personality you actually feel.
MEET YOUR 5 ARCHETYPES
Choose who nudges you. Each one delivers the same wake-up call in a completely different voice:
• Minimalist — clean, stoic, no drama. Just the facts.
• Satirist — sarcastic and funny. The friend who roasts you with love.
• Philosopher — reflective and thought-provoking. Makes you actually think.
• Moralist — serious and guilt-driven. No sugar-coating.
• Provocateur — aggressive and confrontational. For when you need a slap, not a tap.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps that eat your time.
2. Set how long is "too long."
3. Keep scrolling — Wasted lets you. But the second you cross the line, your archetype fires a notification. Still scrolling? It nudges again, every interval, until you stop.
No blocking. No friction wall. No forcing. Just awareness, sharp enough to break the trance.
100% PRIVATE — BY DESIGN
• No account. No sign-up. No email.
• No cloud. No sync. Nothing leaves your phone.
