Finish your fast, log a workout, hit your calorie target, and more to earn your screen time back.\n\nEARN SCREEN TIME\n- Pick the apps that steal your time. They stay locked until you complete your daily habits.\n- Every habit pays: finish a fast +30 min, log a workout +30, hit your calorie target +30, hit your water goal +15.\n- During a fast, or once you're over your calorie budget, your chosen food-delivery apps lock too.\n- Which apps you lock never leaves your device. And if your subscription ever ends, everything unlocks automatically.\n\nFASTING\n- Set a fasting window, like 16:8, or any schedule you want. A live timer counts down while you fast, a timeline shows what your body is doing as the hours pass, and you can see your last few days at a glance.\n\nWORKOUTS\n- Log a workout and get an automatic calorie burn estimate. Steps count too, and can add to your daily calorie budget if you choose to do so.\n\nNUTRITION\n- Take a photo of your meal and get a calorie and macro estimate. Or scan a nutrition label, scan a barcode, or just describe what you ate in a sentence. Every meal breaks down into ingredients you can edit by hand.\n\nHYDRATION\n- Set a daily water target and log a glass or a bottle in a single tap, in millilitres or ounces. Undo a mistake just as fast, and watch the day fill up.\n\nSTAY ACCOUNTABLE\n- Start a chat and bring your friends along the ride. Share your progress daily to keep each other serious.\n\nPROGRESS OVER TIME\n- Charts for weight, fasting hours, workouts, and calories, plus trends, averages, and your on-track rate, so you can see how things are trending, not just today's numbers.\n\nBe Serious requires an active subscription to use. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before each period ends.
