See how much your attention is worth
Instagram, TikTok and YouTube feel free, yet they quietly turn every swipe into ad money. Tell the calculator a little about your daily routine and it uncovers the tab running in the background. Most people are shocked by the number that pops up.

How the attention audit stays honest
We start with boring-but-reliable stuff: company filings, regulator reports, and industry trackers. Those numbers become revenue per minute for each app and each region. When you add your daily minutes and the years you have been hooked, the calculator shows exactly how much money that app made from you today, this week, and this year.
The timeline view takes the total you have already generated and stretches it toward age 70, the same lens ad teams use when valuing your attention. It is not a fortune teller. It is a wake-up call that shows how small scroll sessions snowball into serious cash for someone else.
Built for everyday people who are over being milked
This tool is not for analysts or journalists; it is for anyone who ends the night wondering where the time went. Use it as a social media time tracker, a digital wellbeing reminder, or proof when you tell friends that “free” apps take a cut of every minute you donate. Seeing the daily “attention tax” in dollars makes it easier to set limits or delete the tab.
Everything runs locally on your device with no accounts, no tracking, just insight you can screenshot, share, or revisit every morning. Bring the numbers to your family, team, or classroom and decide together which apps deserve your time and which ones only drain it.
