HoursTag: Hours to Buy
See what money costs in time
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Before you buy, see what it costs in hours of your life. Turn prices and goals into time—private, ad-free, pay once.
What does it really cost? Not in dollars — in hours of your life.
HoursTag turns any price into the work hours it takes you to earn it. A $129 pair of sneakers isn't "$129" — it's half a day at work. Once you see money this way, you spend with clarity instead of regret.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your income once — hourly or monthly. HoursTag works out your real hourly value.
2. Enter a price. Instantly see it as work time.
3. Tag it Need, Want or Impulse — and watch your patterns appear.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No ads. Everything stays on your device — always.
PAY ONCE, OWN IT FOREVER
HoursTag is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no hidden upgrades, nothing to renew.
Time is the one currency you can't earn back. Spend it on purpose — with HoursTag.
