You know the number. You've seen your Screen Time report, swiped past it, and kept scrolling.
Screen Receipts doesn't let you do that. It hires you an accountant. A petty one.
Every day, your screen time gets printed as an itemized receipt — warm ink on cream paper, in the style of a mid-century travel poster. Every app, every hour, line by line, with a total at the bottom you can't argue with.
THE DAILY RECEIPT
Your day, itemized. Each app is a line item with the hours it took. A narrator signs off at the bottom in the voice you picked. There's a thermal-printer sound and a matched haptic when it prints, and both respect your silent switch and never interrupt your music.
AT THIS PACE
Screen Time only keeps a few weeks of history, so Screen Receipts doesn't pretend to tell you what you've already lost. It tells you where your current pace lands: this week, this month, this year. One daily rate, computed one way, so every screen agrees with every other screen. The receipt always says what the number was measured from — "based on your 7-day average," or "based on today alone."
IT WON'T MAKE THINGS UP
On day one you'll see today, and the app will say so. It won't average a single day, project a year off a Tuesday, or compare this week to a week it never saw. Averages need two days, projections need three, week-over-week needs two full weeks. If it hasn't earned the claim, it doesn't make it. That's the whole personality of the thing: an accountant that won't cook your books, even in your favor.
EIGHT NARRATORS
Wake-Up Call, Motivational Coach, The Roast, Philosopher, Best Friend, Drill Sergeant, Gen Alpha, and The Sportscaster. Each one reads the same numbers and reaches a different conclusion about you. Lines are written on-device by Apple Intelligence where it's available, with a deep library of hand-written lines behind it everywhere else — you'll never see a blank.
THE COMPARISONS
Your hours, converted into things you could have done instead. Not platitudes…
