It's My Time

You meant to read, play guitar or go to the gym. You opened a feed instead. Before you open social media or another app on autopilot, It's My Time suggests what you really want to do.

Download on the App Store

An iPhone app. Free, with no ads. iOS 26 or later.

How it works

  1. Add the things you want to do when you have time. Just type a name.
  2. Choose the apps you tend to open on autopilot.
  3. When you open one of them, a screen suggests one thing from your list, with a GO button.

Tap GO to mark it done and close the app you were about to open. Once something is done, it isn't suggested again until 4 a.m. Or tap Open and the app opens as usual for the next 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

A board, not a to-do list

  • Tiles

    Each thing you want to do appears as a tile. Tap a tile to mark it done, and it lights up.

  • Levels

    Every tile has a level that goes up with the number of times you've marked it done. It doesn't go down on days you skip.

  • CLEAR

    Light up every tile and the day is CLEAR. From then on, your apps open as usual until 4 a.m.

  • Anything you want to do

    Read manga, go to the gym, play guitar, make coffee. You choose what goes on your list.

What is recorded

It's My Time collects nothing. It works without an account, and your list is stored on your iPhone only. To make suggestions before the apps you chose open, it uses Apple's Screen Time, with your permission.

Privacy policy

Free

Every feature is free. Settings has two tips: a cup of coffee, or a bag of it. Buying one changes nothing in the app.
