Awareen

Screen awareness

A quiet timer that floats over every app and shows how long you have been on your phone today. No blocking, no nagging. Just a number in the corner that keeps you honest.

The app

Calm by design

A night in the mountains, warm text and nothing shouting at you. The app stays out of the way so the timer can do its job.

How it works

Calm, then heads up, then enough

The timer moves through three stages as your day goes on. You choose when each one starts, what it is called, and how it looks.

00:12:40

Calm

The timer is there, quiet and green. You are well within your day.

By default, the first 30 minutes

00:41:05

Heads up

Amber. A gentle nudge that you have been on for a while.

By default, the next 30 minutes

01:27:52

Enough

Red, and it can blink. A clear signal, but never a block.

By default, until the daily reset

Features

Small, and made to be yours

Over any app

The timer floats above everything you open. Show it all the time, or for a few seconds every minute.

Tap it, drag it

Tap the timer to hide it for 5 seconds. Drag it anywhere on screen and it stays there.

Live settings

Name each stage, pick its text and background colors, size and position. Changes apply the moment you make them.

A daily reset you can trust

Pick the time your day starts over. The reset happens even when the phone is asleep.

Home screen widget

Prefer no overlay at all? Hide the timer and keep an eye on today from a small widget instead.

Take it with you

Export your settings and history to a file, and import them on your next phone.

Analytics

See where your day goes

After sleep and work, how much of the day is really yours? The "Your day" view splits 24 hours so you can see how much of your free time the phone takes.

Privacy

Your screen time never leaves your phone

No ads

Nothing to sell you, and no one to sell you to.

No account

Open it and press start. That is the whole setup.

No internet

The app does not even ask for the internet permission. It cannot send data anywhere.
