That $80 you just spent?
You worked 3 hours for it.
LifeBurn converts every price tag into real work hours, so you feel the cost before you buy.
You earn by the hour. You spend by the dollar.
Why does money vanish so fast? Because price tags lie. A $15 delivery fee doesn't feel like much, but it's an hour at your desk. LifeBurn fixes that by showing you the raw trade-off.

Designed for brutal clarity.
LifeBurn doesn't track budgets. It tracks the life hours you trade for things. Built to shift how you look at value.
Your Time Balance
See exactly where your life is leaking. Daily and weekly views show the true time cost of your lifestyle. When you see your rent or dining out measured in days of desk work, your spending habits change instantly.
Raw Cost Log
Log any purchase in seconds. We translate the price into hours of your labor. No complex bank syncs or logins. Just clean, immediate clarity on what that purchase cost your future self.
Cooling-off Timers
Stop impulse buys before they happen. Lock purchase ideas behind custom cooling-off timers. If you still want to trade 5 hours of your life for that gadget after 48 hours, buy it. Most times, you won't.
Always Visible
Keep your time cost top of mind. Live Activities and home screen widgets show your time balance without opening the app. A constant, subtle reminder that your time is finite.

How does LifeBurn calculate the time cost?
You set your hourly rate. LifeBurn divides every purchase by that number and shows you exactly how many hours of your life it cost. Simple math. Brutal clarity.
Is my financial data private?
Yes. All data stays on your device. Nothing leaves your phone (no accounts synced, no servers, no analytics on your spending).
What if my hourly rate changes?
Update it anytime in Settings. Past purchases keep their original time cost, and only new entries use the updated rate.
Why is this a paid app?
We charge once because we respect your time. No ads, no subscriptions, no tricks. You pay $4.99, you own it forever.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything runs on your phone: calculator, widgets, Live Activities, all offline.
Stop spending your finite life on things that don't matter.
