Make history per day instead of accumulating

Open stevenroose opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I don't really understand what the value is of the accumulating view. The number of screen time "per 7 days" doesn't really help me. I mean maybe daily averages would help.

But mostly, I would like to see a daily history of screen time. To see which days were worse and which were better. And maybe 7-day and 30-day and 365-day averages to compare against.

Maybe a cool view would be like a calendar view (you know like 7 columns, one for each weekday, and then scrolling through time. And then either show each day as a square with the absolute screen time (can be color-coded) or have 3 buttons to like "compare with weekly average" and show the relative screentime compared with weekly average and "compare with monthly" and "yearly" similarly.

That would really be information that I would find useful to look at!

Good ideas! I may add these stats in the future 👍

For me, it is rather the cumulative value that is important, as it makes a statement about how long I have actually used my phone in the given period of time. The dial already shows me at what times of the day I have used my phone the most, which is really all I want to know. But of course everyone is different 😉
