Stats and streaks: what you actually did
Locked hours, the hours you slip, streaks with two lifetime freezes, and your phone's own screen time beside them.
Most screen-time apps show you a number that makes you feel bad on Sunday night and changes nothing. The numbers here are meant to be acted on: they answer *when* rather than *how much*, because when is the thing you can rearrange.
What the app tracks
| Figure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Locked time | Hours your apps were actually blocked, by day and week. |
| Hour of day | When your sessions happen — and when they end early. |
| Consistency | How many of the last N days had a session at all. |
| Trend | This week against the one before, without a target you never set. |
| Streak | Consecutive days with a session. A second, stricter streak counts only days you tapped the key. |
Streak freezes
A streak that dies on the day you had flu is a streak that teaches you to distrust streaks. Two freezes exist for the life of the account — they cover a missed day and keep the count alive. Two, not unlimited, because a streak you cannot break is not a streak.
Your phone's own numbers, beside ours
Spark can also show the operating system's screen-time figures, so you are not comparing our number to a number in another app. On Android it goes further and splits the day into what you called productive and what you called distracting, with a summary at 10 p.m. and an optional nudge through the day. On iPhone the screen embeds Apple's own report — Apple renders it and does not share the underlying figures, so there is no split there.
The honest limits
- These are numbers about sessions, not about attention. An hour locked is not an hour of good work.
- The productive-or-distracting split is your own labelling, not a judgement the app makes.
- On iPhone, Apple's report cannot be broken down by us. That is by Apple's design.
The rest of what it does
Modes
A mode is a named set of things to block — apps, sites, feeds, channels — that you switch on in one tap.
