●●SolidCozySolve My Problem

Binary hour tracking beats vague screen time reports, but Screen Time already does this.

Strengths
  • •Single-second trigger makes the binary loss mechanic feel immediate and honest.
  • •Year view on one screen creates genuine long-term perspective on habits.
  • •Zero data collection and on-device storage respects privacy without compromise.
Weaknesses
  • •iOS Screen Time already tracks app usage with category limits and reports.
  • •No novel detection method — just repackages existing usage data into a grid.
