Screen time, understood
Picked up your phone for a minute — and lost an hour?
Attuno turns the screen time on your iPhone into one honest score a day — and gives you what it takes to win the time back: limits that block, a daily Challenge, and a league that counts every hour you reclaim.

Nobody sees your answers — they stay on this page.
The score
One number a day, and a rule that fits in one sentence.
No phone at all is +100. Four hours is zero. Eight hours is −100. Every minute costs the same — across the whole phone, not just the apps you feel guilty about.
Measure
Attuno reads Screen Time through Apple’s own frameworks. Nothing to log by hand, and app names never leave your iPhone.
Score
Each day gets a score, a state — stable, fragmented, highly fragmented — and one of four archetypes, from Focused Builder to Dopamine Drifter.
Climb
Scores add up to a total that never resets and never drops below zero. That total is your place on a fifty-tier ladder.
What the research says
Hours on the phone are not free.
Teenagers on screens 7+ hours a day were more than twice as likely to have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety as those at about an hour.
Twenge & Campbell, Preventive Medicine Reports, 2018 ↗How long attention now stays on one screen before switching — down from about two and a half minutes in 2004.
Gloria Mark, University of California, Irvine ↗Just having your own smartphone on the desk — face down, on silent — measurably reduced working memory in tests.
Ward, Duke, Gneezy & Bos, Journal of the Association for Consumer Research, 2017 ↗Students who limited social media to about 30 minutes a day reported significantly less loneliness and depression after three weeks.
Hunt, Marx, Lipson & Young, Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 2018 ↗Economists estimate self-control problems drive about a third of social media use — and found that simply letting people set limits on future screen time substantially reduced it.
Allcott, Gentzkow & Song, American Economic Review, 2022 ↗The good news is in the last two: limits work. Attuno is built on that.
Studies describe groups, not you. Attuno is a tool for habits, not a medical product.
Your number
What does your screen time add up to in a year?
days a year
Attuno would score that day
Beyond the number
Tools for the days the score alone won’t do it.
Limits that block
Give an app or a category a daily allowance — when it runs out, Attuno closes it until midnight. Or close it for set hours on the days you choose, say 22:00 to 07:00.
Challenge
Stake 25, 50 or 75 points that one category stays closed tomorrow. It’s drawn after you commit and shielded from 23:58. Hold out and the stake is yours; give up and it costs you.
Widgets
Your score on the Lock Screen and the Home Screen, without opening the app.
Achievements
83 marks for flawless days, good weeks, streaks, new tiers and won Challenges.
History
Thirty days on one chart: average, best and worst day, the weekly trend.
Tips
120 short, research-based tips on sleep, focus, habits and mindfulness — a few every day in your feed.
The league
Fifty tiers, from Clay to Diamond.
Every 500 points is a tier. Each week you sit in a group of thirty people near your total — ranked daily, re-seated on Monday. The top three of a positive week earn a bonus.
Nobody sees your email — only a nickname you choose.
The Flow · Tier 23
320 points to Electrum.
Week closes Monday · 30 in your group
For parents
Set limits on your child’s iPhone — and lock them with a PIN.
The parental PIN keeps limits and blocks from changing without you. You decide how much time goes to games and social apps, and when the phone goes to sleep.
Limits per app and category
A daily allowance for each app or category. When it runs out, the app stays closed until midnight.
Bedtime and school hours
Close apps for set hours on the days you choose — say 21:00 to 07:00 on school nights.
A PIN only you know
Four digits before any change to limits or blocks — asked again every time the phone has been locked.
Survives a reinstall
The PIN is stored on the account, so deleting and reinstalling Attuno doesn’t remove it. Forgot it? We email it to the account address.
Honestly: the PIN guards Attuno’s settings, but it can’t stop anyone from switching off Screen Time access in iOS Settings. Each iPhone needs its own Attuno account.
Privacy
What stays on your phone.
Attuno is built on Apple’s Screen Time frameworks, which let an app count your minutes without learning where you spent them.
Read the privacy policy — written against what the code actually stores.
App names never leave your iPhone. Apple hands Attuno an opaque token for each app, and names are shown on the device alone.
Our servers hold a daily total in minutes, plus per-app minutes under a one-way hash we cannot turn back into a name.
No ads. No tracking pixels. No data sold.
Pricing
One subscription, everything in it.
No free tier and no locked features — the whole app, on any plan. Cancel any time in iOS Settings; you keep access until the period ends.

Questions
Before you download.
Does Attuno see which apps I use?
No. App names stay on your iPhone; our server gets minutes under a hash it can’t reverse.
Why can my score be negative?
More than four hours of screen time in a day scores below zero. Your total never drops below zero, so a bad week is never a hole you can’t climb out of.
Can I use it on my child’s iPhone?
Yes — install it on their phone, set limits and lock them with a parental PIN. Each iPhone needs its own account.
One account on two devices?
One device at a time. Signing in on a new iPhone signs the previous one out.
How do I cancel or delete my account?
Cancel in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Delete the account in Attuno → Settings; it’s immediate and permanent, and doesn’t cancel the subscription for you.
Which languages?
English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French and Ukrainian.
