# Added Time — fact sheet

**Added Time is a match clock for the hours you promised yourself.** Name the things you owe
hours to — an exam, a degree, an instrument, a language, a sport — start the clock, and the
minutes you actually put in are inked into a record that is yours permanently. Pause, and the
clock holds while a second clock counts the pause up in orange: those minutes are added on at
the end, because a paused minute genuinely wasn't a minute toward the goal.

It was not built to tell you your screen time is bad. It was built to answer one question:
**did I put the hours in?**

The app blocking is real, and it is the paid half — but it is the supporting act. The ledger
leads.

## The three layers

**1 · The match — the clock and the ledger.** Name a subject, set the hours you owe it, start
a block. The clock counts up toward the hour you asked for. Hit the whistle and it holds; the
stoppage clock runs in orange and is added on. Full time is a milestone, not a wall — play
rolls on and keeps counting for up to four more hours. What you did is inked into Today, the
Week and the Record. You can add time by hand for work the clock never saw.
*Free, uncapped, forever.*

**2 · The doorman — apps step aside.** A standing window is a recurring period when the apps
you chose step aside: quiet hours, deep work, a wind-down. Windows run on their own schedule
whether or not the app is open. Daily limits are one cap across the apps you pick, rather than a clock. Breaks and
the emergency exit are never paid for and never made harder.
*One standing window is free forever; the whole week is Plus.*

**3 · Screen-time goals — the reclaim layer.** A daily budget you are trying to come in under,
with step-down coaching that invites a slightly lower one after a clean week. Up to three rows,
quiet mornings among them. The screen-time dashboard itself is free; the goal and the coaching
are Plus.

## Pricing

| Product | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The ledger | **Free** | Not a trial, not a teaser |
| Plus — monthly | **$4.99 / month** | No free trial |
| Plus — yearly | **$29.99 / year** | 7-day free trial · about $2.50 a month |
| Plus — lifetime | **$79.99** | One payment; it never renews |

Family Sharing is on for all three. Prices are US dollars and vary by region; the App Store
shows the local price before purchase. Apple handles every payment and refund.

**Free forever, in full:** every subject, goal and habit with no caps · the clock, the whistle,
added time, running start, add-by-hand · Today, the Week in both directions, History, streaks,
focus ratio · **the Record** at week, month and career range · Live Activity, Dynamic Island,
Siri and Shortcuts · apps stepping aside during a block · **one standing window, kept forever**
· breaks and the emergency exit · the screen-time dashboard · **export of the entire record to
a spreadsheet.**

**Added Time Plus adds the doorman:** standing windows for the whole week · daily limits
· screen-time goals with step-down coaching, up to three, quiet mornings included · the
doorman's ledger, which writes down what it held.

**If Plus lapses, nothing is deleted.** Extra windows, limits and goals stop being enforced and
sit in the Week as resting rows; resubscribe and they pick up exactly where they were. Subjects,
tallies, streaks and history are untouched either way. There is no win-back campaign, because
there is no email address to send one to.

## The architecture

**No accounts. No servers of ours. No analytics. No third-party dependencies.** This is
structural, not a policy promise — there is nowhere of ours for data to go. The record lives on
the phone; from version 1.0.1, when iCloud is on, a copy also lives in the user's own iCloud (on
by default, with a switch), which the developer cannot see.

App blocking is built on **Apple's Family Controls / Screen Time**, handled on-device by iOS.
Apple hands the app opaque tokens: it cannot read which apps or sites were picked. It is told
only what the user's own rules require — that a window is running, or that a limit
has crossed the amount the user chose that day. Access is revocable at any time in
Settings → Screen Time.

The app's only network activity is Apple's own: App Store prices, purchases and restores, and,
from 1.0.1, when iCloud is on, the copy of the record in the user's own iCloud. None of it
reaches us.

The website counts visits with its host’s own tools (Netlify’s page-speed script and server-log
totals), with no cookies and no advertising; the Privacy Policy says exactly what.

## The details a journalist tends to want

- **Days active is a total, never a run.** There is no streak to break, so a Tuesday off costs
  nothing. The app has no streak-loss mechanic anywhere by design.
- **The payoff screen is not the paid one.** The Record — hours, focus ratio, clean sheets, days
  active, and one line per subject since your first block — is free on every tier.
- **The pause is never categorised.** No "why did you stop?" prompt, one tap, and the minutes
  come back.
- **Nothing turns red, and nothing is called wasted.** Counts are of what was kept.
- **A finished subject keeps its line**, its hours and its colour. Only the dates close.
