Social media time calculator

See how social media time adds up.

Enter your daily social average and see it as weekly, monthly and yearly totals. Keep what you value, change what feels automatic.

The short answer

Add up your social apps in iPhone Screen Time, enter the daily average, and Klippy converts it to longer-term totals. Use it for one app or a whole category.

Use the screen time calculator

A total is clearer than a feeling

‘I spend too much time on social media’ is hard to act on. A number — for example, 1.5h/day ≈ 22 full days a year — gives you something concrete to consider.

Not all of that is wasted; social is also how many people work, learn and keep in touch. The useful question is whether the time matches what you intended.

Make the next step specific

Pick one app that turns a quick check into a longer session. Note when you open it and what you were doing right before.

If you decide to add a boundary, keep useful apps open and focus on the few that pull you back. For iPhone options, see how to limit social media on iPhone and Screen Time vs app blocker.

Common questions

Can I calculate one app?

Yes. Enter the average for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc., or a combined total.

Does Klippy collect my social use?

No. Nothing is sent to Klippy or your accounts.

What if I need it for work?

Keep work use and focus the boundary on checks outside that purpose.

Klippy stays free and private. If you decide you need a stronger boundary for a few apps, Fella blocks selected iPhone apps while leaving the rest of your phone usable.
