Read the full description
Time Debt is an app blocker built on Apple's Screen Time. Set a realistic daily allowance for the apps you choose. When it runs out, a calm shield appears: stop, or borrow 5, 10 or 15 minutes from tomorrow. Before you confirm, you see today, tomorrow's normal allowance and tomorrow's adjusted one. Repaid once, no interest, and tomorrow never drops below your minimum. Protected hours can cross midnight. Emergency access is always free. No account, no ads, works offline.
