About Couples Screen Time: Burn
Screen time for couples. Cut it together. Burn is a screen time app for couples. Invite your partner, share one pool of screen time, and share whichever to-do lists you like. Finish tasks to earn logs and feed them to Burn, a little flame you keep lit together. Doomscroll the pool dry and both of your distracting apps lock. No willpower required. Just someone in your corner, and a flame worth keeping lit. BURN DUO: SHARE IT WITH YOUR PARTNER (FREE) • One shared screen time pool, with a daily goal either of you can change • Share any to-do list: groceries, chores, date night plans. Everything else stays private • Either of you ticks a shared task off, it's done for both • One log pile: tasks either of you finishes refuel you both • See your partner's day: how much they burned, and where it went by the app groups they name • Get a heads-up when your partner adds or finishes a shared task • One flame, one streak. It breaks the moment either of you burns the last minute • Own Burn+? Your partner gets it too while you're in a Duo • Syncs through your own iCloud. No Burn account, no sign-in HOW IT WORKS • Start each day with a screen time budget • Scrolling the apps you pick burns through it, minute by minute • Hit zero and those apps lock • Finish tasks to earn logs • Feed logs to Burn: every log buys 10 more minutes Rather go solo? Burn works just as well on your own. GET STUFF DONE • Give every task its own log reward, so big jobs pay more • Daily, weekday, or custom repeating tasks for your habits • Plan Today, Tomorrow, and the days ahead • Sort tasks into color-coded categories, private or shared • Shake to undo if you tap too soon A FLAME WORTH KEEPING LIT • Burn reacts to your day: happy when you're on track, worried when time runs low, out cold when it's gone • Tap, pet, and drag logs in to feed him • Dozes off at night with a sleepy face • Keep Burn lit all day to build your streak YOU'RE IN CONTROL • Choose exactly which apps and categories burn fuel • Everything else stays open • Set your own daily budget • No account, no sign-in, no ads. BURN+ (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • 13 flame colors, each with a matching app icon • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a task list you can check off without opening the app • Live Activity: watch your fuel count down in the Dynamic Island • Low fuel warnings before your apps lock • Screen Time Insights: see which apps ate your time, by day, week, and month Burn uses Apple's Screen Time to track and limit only the apps you choose.
