ctrl-time

You're losing 4+ hours a day to your phone. That's 60 full days every year—gone forever. ctrl-time helps you take them back.

WHAT MAKES CTRL-TIME DIFFERENT

Most screen time apps shame you with numbers. ctrl-time does something different: it shows you what those numbers actually mean for your life. Every minute wasted is a minute you'll never get back. Every minute saved is a minute you can spend on what truly matters.


YOUR LIFE IN WEEKS

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, the Life in Weeks grid shows your entire existence at a glance—4,160 weeks, each represented by a single dot. The filled dots are weeks you've already lived. The empty ones are all you have left.

It's not meant to scare you. It's meant to wake you up.

- See exactly what percentage of your life you've lived
- Tap any week to explore what you did (or didn't do)
- Export the grid as your iPhone wallpaper
- A daily reminder that your time is not infinite

FOCUS MODE — BLOCK DISTRACTIONS

One tap. Zero willpower needed.

ctrl-time uses Apple's native Screen Time integration to block the apps that steal your attention. Choose sessions from 15 to 120 minutes and watch the distractions disappear.

- Block Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and any time-wasting app
- Native iOS integration—no workarounds or hacks
- Live Activities show your timer on Dynamic Island

MINUTES RECLAIMED — YOUR NEW KPI

Every focus session gives you back precious minutes. ctrl-time tracks them all, showing you exactly how much life you've reclaimed.

Watch the counter grow. Those aren't just numbers—that's time you've taken back from the algorithm.


REPLACEMENT ACTIONS

What will you do with your reclaimed time?

- Read a book
- Exercise
- Learn a new skill
- Spend time with loved ones

Log your activities and give meaning to every minute you save. Turn screen time into life time.
