Break down daily screen time by work, social, streaming, gaming, and other use; compare weekly and yearly totals with age-aware habit prompts.
A quick decision brief for this specific tool
Self-reported daily hours for work/school, social media, streaming, gaming, and other use, plus age band and late-night context
Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly totals; non-work equivalents; break priority; and age-aware habit prompts
Local aggregation capped at 16 hours per day, with transparent time multipliers and separate work versus recreational totals
Choose your path
Turn a realistic daily screen-time breakdown into weekly/yearly context and safer habit prompts without presenting aggregate time as a medical diagnosis.
Separate work from leisure and see the annual scale of current habits.
Adjust five categories, review daily/weekly/yearly totals, and compare non-work alternatives.
Identifies one feasible leisure-time change without treating illustrative equivalents as predictions.
Review age-aware guidance without applying a false universal two-hour rule.
Select the relevant age band, separate educational/work use, and read source-qualified family guidance.
Uses the result as a conversation/planning aid and consults pediatric guidance for individual needs.
Notice possible sleep and activity displacement patterns.
Enable late-night use, inspect break/sleep/activity prompts, and apply the 20-20-20 reminder.
Understands the prompts are behavioral signals based on self-report, not clinical risk scores.
This tool is part of these guided projects. Each project provides step-by-step instructions with checklists and all the tools you need in one place.

Five non-negative category values are summed with a 16-hour daily cap. Weekly, 30-day monthly, and 365-day yearly figures assume the entered day repeats unchanged.
Weekly hours = Daily total × 7; Yearly hours = Daily total × 365Alternative-activity estimates and age guidance use social, entertainment, gaming, and other time, not work/school time. The displayed activity counts divide annual leisure hours by simplified time assumptions and are not forecasts.
Aggregate hours cannot diagnose eye strain or reveal continuous sessions. Age guidance distinguishes the approximately one-hour recommendation for ages 2–5 from AAP family-plan guidance for older children and teens. Persistent symptoms or child-development concerns require qualified care.
Updated: July 2026
An adult separates required work time from social, streaming, and gaming use, then chooses one realistic evening reduction instead of treating all screen hours as equally avoidable.
A caregiver selects an age band, reviews recreational rather than school use, and uses the guidance to discuss sleep, activity, and family routines rather than impose a false universal two-hour cap.
A user flags late-night social or streaming use and treats the resulting sleep and break messages as prompts to test a routine change, not as a medical assessment.
Break a self-reported day into work/school, social, streaming, gaming, and other screen use. Keep the total within a 16-hour waking-day model, separate leisure from required use, and treat health prompts and activity equivalents as conversation aids rather than diagnoses or forecasts.
