About this app

Lost Time helps you clearly see how much time you spend on your phone and set limits when you want to change that pattern. You choose which apps to track, see duration and openings throughout the day, and can keep a discreet screen time indicator. No account creation is required to get started.

SHORT VIDEO SWIPE COUNTER (OPTIONAL)
With your permission, Lost Time uses the Android AccessibilityService API to identify scroll events and interface metadata (foreground app, classes, and technical element identifiers) in TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. These signals allow it to estimate how many transitions you make between short videos, without stating that each event corresponds to an exact physical gesture. The service also assists in recognizing the foreground app.

The counter is free and remains disabled until you accept a separate declaration within the app and voluntarily enable permission in Android Accessibility settings. Daily totals are stored locally on the device. This feature does not read or store displayed text, messages, passwords, video content, screenshots, or coordinates of your touches, and does not send swipe totals to our servers. You can disable the counter in Lost Time or revoke permission in your Android settings at any time.

SEE YOUR PATTERNS
History shows which apps consumed the most time, how many times they were opened, and at what times usage was concentrated. Views by time and period help to identify patterns without turning each number into judgment.

MEMENTO MORI
Create countdown events or daily cycles and use the Lost Time wallpaper as a visual reminder of the passage of time.

ANDROID + WINDOWS
With Premium, Windows Companion can be paired with your phone to synchronize usage aggregates from compatible programs and websites over the local network. This allows History to combine Android and Windows usage without requiring storage of your personal usage history in a Lost Time cloud.

LIFETIME PREMIUM
Premium is a one-time purchase, with no recurring subscription. It unlocks unlimited monitored apps, complete history, more goals and schedules, Windows Companion, advanced analysis and categorization features, data export/import, additional customizations, and an ad-free experience.

The free version remains available with up to 3 monitored apps, 7 days of history, and 1 usage goal, in addition to essential features for tracking and organizing your screen time.

LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY
Your personal usage history is stored on your device. Lost Time does not record content displayed within apps, screenshots, keystrokes, or complete URLs. Windows Companion synchronization occurs over the local network between paired devices.
