02 · about finit

Three lengths, ready to paste.

short · about 35 words

finit is a screen-time app for iPhone that never blocks an app and never deletes a day. It keeps an honest record of your attention for years and shows what it adds up to over a lifetime.

standard · about 90 words

finit is a screen-time app for iPhone built on a simple bet: seeing clearly changes more than being stopped. It blocks nothing and never scolds. It takes the screen time your iPhone already measures and keeps every day for years, where the phone itself deletes the history after about four weeks. Then it shows what those hours mean over a lifetime: at your current pace, the years of your life that go to the screen, next to your whole life drawn in weeks. The record stays on your device and in your own iCloud. No ads, no tracking across apps.

Most screen-time apps punish. They lock you out of your own phone, shame you when you slip, and turn your attention into a game you can only lose. finit takes a different bet: seeing clearly changes more than being stopped. It blocks nothing, hides nothing and never scolds. It takes the screen time your iPhone already measures and keeps every day for years, where the phone itself deletes the history after about four weeks. And it shows more than a daily number. At your current pace, how many years of your life go to the screen, app by app. And your whole life drawn in weeks: one square each, the lived ones amber, the rest still open. The picture is meant to steady you, not to alarm you. The record lives on your iPhone and syncs only through your own private iCloud. No account required, no ads, no tracking across apps. You are not the product.

03 · story angles

Four ways in.

Pitch the thesis, not the feature list. Each of these stands on its own.

The app that argues against app blockers

A screen-time app whose whole thesis is that blocking does not last. Blockers lock people out, and get deleted a week later. finit blocks nothing: it measures, keeps the record and leaves the judgment to you.

Your iPhone deletes its history after a month

The phone counts every minute, precisely and per app, then deletes the detail after about four weeks. There is no way to look back at last spring. finit keeps every day, for years, on your own iPhone.

The screen-time app that refuses to track you

Per-app and per-day numbers stay on the device and in the user's own iCloud. No account required, no ads, no tracking across apps. finit keeps a close record of your attention, and nobody else gets to read it.

Your life in weeks, as a living grid

The life-in-weeks idea, made interactive. About 4,000 squares, one per week, the lived ones filled in and the chapters of a life marked along the way. The grid moves one cell forward every week on its own. It is meant to give perspective, not to frighten.

The finite arc.

A life as an arc: the amber part is already lived, the faint part is still to come, and the cream bead marks now.
