Screen Time for iPhone and iPad

Four hours a day is a decade of your life.

That’s the average phone habit, carried across an adult lifetime. Gestalt keeps your record readable — today against your usual, week after week, app by app — so you can see where the hours go while you can still take them back.

iOS · In development · Screen Time analysis stays on your device — no account required

Today, against your usual

26 minutes below your usual by this time of day — one glance, no math.

Inside the app

The same total can describe two completely different days.

A total tells you how much. Gestalt shows you when — the hours that actually shaped the day.

One record, read three ways

From today, to the trend, to the hour you take back.

Diagrams show sample data.

01

Home

Today, against your usual

Today runs against the middle of your own typical days — same hours, same you. Your usual comes from the Screen Time history already on your device, so there’s no waiting weeks to calibrate.

Gestalt only calls out a change when your own history backs it up.

02

Arc

This week, in the grand scheme of things

A weekly number resets and forgives. Arc doesn’t — it shows your months stacking into years, app by app, so you can see what your usual is quietly becoming.

Six full days. Today is still filling in.

03

Focus

Now do something about it

Seeing the pattern is half of it. Focus turns an hour you noticed into an hour you kept — on your schedule, with your apps paused, no streaks and no scolding.

The method

No scores. No streaks. No shame.

01

Your baseline is personal

You’re compared only with your own typical days — never an average person, never a target.

02

Focus records facts

A session ended early is exactly that: a fact, not a failure. There are no streak punishments or wellness scores.

03

Your Screen Time stays on your device

No Gestalt account, no cloud dashboard, and no behavioral analytics reading over your shoulder. See the Privacy Policy for the exact boundary.

Privacy boundary

Your Screen Time stays where Apple measures it.

Apple Screen Time reportProcessed on your device

With standard access, your Screen Time numbers and app names never leave the report Apple renders on your device. Gestalt’s own Focus history stays local to the app.
