About Screen Time Tracker - Bound
Bound helps you understand WHERE your phone time actually goes. Most screen time apps show you a total. Bound shows you the PATTERN. There's a crucial difference between the 2 hours you intentionally spent on email and navigation, and the 2.5 hours you spent unconsciously scrolling social media with no memory of deciding to pick up your phone. Bound separates these. Once you see the split, you can't unsee it. LOG EVERY PICKUP IN SECONDS Every time you reach for your phone, log it: intentional (a specific task) or unconscious (habit, boredom, reflex). Add the app, the duration, the trigger. After 7 days, a pattern emerges that you can't argue with. Most people discover that 60-70% of their daily pickups were unconscious - pure habit with no intent behind them. SET YOUR DAILY INTENTION Each morning, set your intention before you pick up your phone. Which apps are on your list? What are your boundaries for today? No Instagram before noon. Phone-free dinner. No bedtime scroll. The intention is a filter - every pickup runs through it. "Am I here because I chose to be?" PICKUP PATTERN ANALYSIS (Pro) See exactly when your worst habits hit, broken down by hour of day. Most people have a 7-10 PM peak - idle hands during TV time. Your data shows YOUR peak. The pattern is the insight. The insight is the leverage. Knowing that 23% of your unconscious pickups happen in the evening is the first step to owning the evening. APP-BY-APP BREAKDOWN (Pro) Which apps are stealing the most time? You probably think you check Instagram for 2 minutes per session. The data says: 7.4 minutes. 7 sessions per day. 52 minutes daily. The perception gap between how long you THINK you spend versus how long you ACTUALLY spend is the core of the screen time problem. Bound closes that gap with numbers you can't rationalize away. PHONE-FREE BLOCKS Set a 30, 60, or 90-minute phone-free block. Put the phone down. Walk, read, cook, talk, or just exist without it. When the timer ends, check in: how did the block go? What did you do instead? Over time, the block log becomes evidence that life is better without the screen. The first 5 minutes are the hardest. After that, you forget the phone exists. AI SCREEN COACH (Pro) Ask anything about your phone habits. Describe a pattern you can't break. Get personalized, evidence-based strategies grounded in YOUR specific data - not generic willpower advice. Powered by Grok AI. The AI understands habit loops, variable reward schedules, and behavioral psychology. It won't tell you screens are bad. It'll show you what YOUR data is costing you. WEEKLY REFLECTIONS (Pro) At the end of each week, see your trend. Is unconscious usage going down? Are phone-free blocks getting longer? Which day was your worst? The weekly reflection turns raw data into a clear picture of progress - or a clear signal to change the strategy. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All data stored locally with optional iCloud sync. No ads. No data selling. No account required to start. FREE vs. PRO Free: daily intention setter, full pickup log, phone-free block timer, intentional vs. unconscious daily breakdown, block history, phone addiction psychology library Pro: hourly pickup pattern analysis, app-by-app time breakdown, weekly trend charts, weekly reflection prompts, AI Screen Coach --- "I tracked my unconscious phone use for one week: 21.7 hours. That's 47 days per year on my phone without choosing to be there. Bound showed me exactly when and why - and I reclaimed my evenings."
