See what every purchase costs in hours of your life.

LifeBurn is not another bank dashboard. It gives you a fast, private checkpoint between seeing a price and buying the thing.

Time Dashboard

See daily and weekly spending in hours, not just dollars. The pattern becomes hard to ignore and easier to change.

FAQ

The details, before you decide.

How does LifeBurn calculate the time cost?

Set the hourly rate that reflects your take-home pay. LifeBurn divides a purchase price by that rate and shows the result in hours and minutes of work.

Do I need to connect a bank account?

No. LifeBurn uses manual entry, so you can check or log a purchase without giving the app access to your bank account.

Is my spending data private?

LifeBurn does not require an account. Your income profile and the purchases you enter are stored locally on your device.

Why is this a paid app?

LifeBurn is a $19 one-time purchase. There is no recurring subscription, and future updates are included.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The calculator and purchase log work on your iPhone without a bank connection.

Before you spend the money, count the hours.

LifeBurn gives you the pause most checkout screens do not. See the real cost, wait when you need to, and spend on what is worth your time.
