✦ Tool — Screen Time Horoscope

Screen Time Horoscope

The stars have nothing to do with it. Your screen time tells us everything.

✦ Your apps have aligned. The cosmos couldn't care less.

Every Monday morning, a familiar little notification appears: "Your daily average is up 15% from last week." One number, pretending to tell the truth about an entire week of living, working, worrying, and scrolling. The line goes up; therefore, you have been bad. You are always bad.

The Screen Time Horoscope is an experimental tool for people who want a different reading on their phone use — more than just a number. You give us your star sign and a few details about your screen habits, and our oracle takes it from there. No data is extracted or mined. This is vibe-tracking: surveillance at the level of reading your palm.

Under the hood, the oracle is an LLM composing text. It's instructed to produce readings that sound less like a diagnosis and more like something a slightly space-cadet friend might text you at midnight. Not there to tell you whether you were good or bad — only to suggest another way of understanding what you were doing.

Which Archetype Are You?
☿
The Doomscroller
4+ hours of social media daily. Restless energy. Fuelled by outrage and the occasional cat video.
♄
The Productivity Purist
90% utility apps, calendar, and notes. Ruthlessly efficient. Secretly anxious about inbox zero.
♊
The Context Switcher
30+ apps per day. Perpetually distracted. Brilliant ideas, half-executed. The group chat never sleeps.
☽
The Nostalgic Browser
Long gallery sessions and late-night searches. Deeply sentimental. Saves everything. Reads nothing.
☀
The Content Creator
Hours in camera and editing apps. Always performing, even when offline. The aesthetic is the message.
⊕
The Notification Devotee
Checks their phone 90+ times daily. Anxiously organised. Every ping demands an immediate response.
