00:00this visit
Live, to the second
The pill polls what is on screen once a second and nothing else. It costs about as much battery as a clock widget.
A small live timer that floats over Instagram, YouTube — any app you open too often — and counts while you scroll. It never blocks you. It just makes sure you know.
Ask anyone how long they spent on Instagram today and they will guess low. The phone knows the real number; it just never says it out loud. Sunk shows it to you while it happens.
Open Instagram and a small pill appears in the corner, counting up from zero. Not a guess from yesterday — the clock running right now, over the app itself.
00:00 the moment you open the app. Put the phone down and it pauses. Leave the app for more than five seconds and the next open is a new visit. Every second is real.
One tap flips the pill to today's total for that app. Tap again to come back. Each app remembers which one you prefer.
Press and hold and the pill goes away for this visit. The hide itself lands on your receipt. Sunk never nags; it just remembers.
Most screen-time apps get switched off within a week because they shout. Sunk is quiet enough to stay — and exact enough to matter.
The pill polls what is on screen once a second and nothing else. It costs about as much battery as a clock widget.
Instagram on "today", YouTube on "this visit" — each app keeps its own setting. The number you need, where you need it.
Minutes feel abstract. "412 swipes" does not. Switch it on for Reels or Shorts; double-taps and typing are left out. Close, not exact.
No account. A small anonymous heartbeat tells us Sunk is alive. Never app names, never what is on your screen.
Around 9:30 every night the day prints itself: every app, every visit, every hide, one total. Plain enough to share with a friend.
No scores, no streaks, no cartoon brain. A receipt is the most honest piece of paper there is — it only lists what you actually spent.
Two lines at the bottom translate the total into something you can feel: episodes of a sitcom, a walk, pages of a book. Free keeps a week of receipts; Pro keeps 90 days and prints the whole week every Sunday.
Blockers sell willpower. Sunk sells the truth, and only that. Here is the rest, said straight.
No locks, no timers that lecture you, no breathing exercises. You can hide the pill any time. The hide is recorded, that is all.
Free is free. One app, exact numbers, for as long as you like. Pro exists so we don't need advertisers.
Your number is yours. Share the receipt if you want to — Sunk won't do it for you.
Sunk counts swipes, not reels. To see more, an app would need Android's accessibility access, which can read everything on screen. Sunk will not ask for it, so the swipe count is close rather than exact.
The free tier shows real numbers, not blurred ones — that's how you know it works. Pro adds every other app on your phone.
