How to read this

  • The buffer is time WITHOUT the phone, not time with it. It is the half of the number that makes the other half survivable.
  • Caps work better than willpower: set them in your phone's own screen-time settings, so the limit arrives without you having to remember it.
  • The maths runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored.
