# finit

> A private, long-term screen-time record for iPhone. It keeps every day it
> measures, for years, and it never blocks an app. Requires iOS 26 or later.
> Out now on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/finit-screen-time-life/id6786888937 (free to
> download). There is no Android version yet; the site takes Android sign-ups.

Screen-time data stays on the device and in the user's own private iCloud.
No server of ours receives per-app or per-day history. The one exception is
the optional Friends feature, which stores a weekly total, rounded to half
an hour, that the user chooses to share.
