EarnTime: Screen Time Budget
Exercise adds time
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Use Apple Watch exercise minutes to build a daily screen-time budget. See what's left, keep room for rest, and record your movement. No account needed.
Use your Apple Watch exercise minutes to set a daily budget for distracting apps.
EarnTime connects the movement you already record with the time you spend on your phone. Choose the apps you want to manage, connect Apple Health and Screen Time, and wear your Watch as usual.
EXERCISE ADDS TIME
Each synced Exercise ring minute adds one minute to your allowance. Movement above your personal daily baseline earns an additional bonus. Your movement record stays separate: using screen time does not spend it away.
SEE WHAT'S LEFT TODAY
A vessel and clear numbers show your remaining daily time, with your reserve alongside it. Open the breakdown to see the daily base, exercise, bonus and counted usage.
KEEP ROOM FOR REST
Every day starts with 30 minutes. A reserve receives 60 minutes each week and holds up to 120. It takes over when the daily allowance runs out. When both are empty and protection is on, selected apps are shielded. You can turn protection off in Settings.
KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR MOVEMENT
Look back by week or month. At the end of each day, half of the unused daily allowance, rounded down, goes into the reserve subject to its limit. The remainder is recorded as Unspent; it is a record, not spendable time. Marks have no broken-streak penalties. Eligible recorded weeks become a weekly cover that you choose to share.
A GLANCE ON YOUR WRIST
The Apple Watch companion and iPhone widgets show your latest balance. Open the Watch app to refresh from your iPhone. These are snapshots; update timing is controlled by Apple.
FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE
EarnTime is free with one monitored app. EarnTime Full is a single purchase that lets you monitor up to ten, with future app updates included. No subscription. Exercise, reserve, history, marks, weekly issues, widgets and Watch are already free.
NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
The ledger is processed on your devices. There is no social leaderboard or developer-operated ledger server. Per-app activity appears in Apple's isolated Screen Time report interface.
Requires iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later and Apple Watch Exercise ring data in Apple Health, with Health read access and individual Screen Time authorization. The Watch companion requires watchOS 10.0 or later. Your balance updates after exercise data syncs. Apple controls sync and activity callback timing; EarnTime is not a second-by-second timer and does not promise instant unlocking. Shielding an app does not necessarily stop its background audio.
Fixed a crash that could close EarnTime when you left it right after opening.
Setup now shows the app limit while you are choosing apps, instead of only at the last step.
