New Year 2027 · free calculator
Enter your daily average, scratch the ticket, and see how much of 2027 your phone gets.
Free on iPhone · core plan freeMultiply your daily screen time by 365 and divide by 24: at 4 hours a day that is 1,460 hours, or about 61 full days of 2027, the whole of January and February. Counted against waking hours (we assume 16 a day), it is closer to 91 waking days, roughly one in four.
The calendar below shades those days from 1 January, so the number turns into something you can point at. Move the slider above and it redraws.

You want a total ban. Time Debt is built around a daily allowance and planned borrowing. If you want an app gone completely, delete it.
You want remote parental monitoring. There is none. Family tools work on one shared or handed-over iPhone.
You only want the number. Then this calculator is enough, and your iPhone's Screen Time page already tracks the daily average for free.
Same 365 days, four daily budgets. Full 24-hour days, rounded.
Going from 4 hours to 3 is worth about 15 days. That is a better first resolution than going from 4 to 1, which sounds great on 1 January and rarely survives the second week.
One honest limit: emergency access removes every shield until tomorrow, free, any time. It is a commitment tool you agree to, not a cage.
Multiply your daily average by 365, then divide by 24 for full days. Four hours a day is 1,460 hours, which is about 61 days of 2027. Divide by your waking hours instead (16 is a common assumption) to see how many waking days that is.
Open Settings, then Screen Time. The activity view shows a daily average for the week. Use a normal week, not a holiday one, for the calculator.
No. Hours spent on a video call with family or reading a book on your phone count the same here. The calculator measures size, not value; decide for yourself which part of the number you want back.
One you can keep on a bad day. Cutting 30 minutes a day already returns about 7.6 days over 2027. Set the allowance a little below your current average, not at the number you wish you had.
You set a daily allowance for the apps you choose. If you need more on a given day, you borrow a controlled amount from tomorrow and see the cost before confirming. It is repaid automatically, once, with no interest, so the year's total stays close to plan.
The core plan is free: one full plan with real blocking, borrowing, automatic repayment, 7-day history and emergency access. Time Debt Pro adds multiple plans, custom schedules, multi-day repayment, longer history and reports, guided programs and expanded family tools.
Set one allowance before 1 January 2027 and give the year a budget, with a way to borrow that always gets paid back.
