Stop feeling guilty for taking time for yourself

You'll work late without thinking twice, but feel guilty leaving early? Balance Bud is a tiny app with a simple idea: if you gave extra time to work, you've earned time back for yourself. A little balloon keeps you honest and nudges you when it's a beautiful evening to actually take it. $1.99. No ads. No subscriptions. Yours forever.
I'll work until 9pm on a random Tuesday without thinking twice. Hop on my laptop Sunday afternoon, no problem.
But leave early on a sunny Wednesday to take a walk? Suddenly I'm doing mental gymnastics. "Did I get enough done? Should I just stay another hour?"
The guilt only goes one direction. That's messed up.
So I built Balance Bud. For every 2 hours of overtime you log, you earn 1 hour of personal time. Why 2:1 and not 1:1? Because the whole point is that you should feel zero guilt spending it. The math is deliberately in work's favor so when you do take time, you know you've more than earned it.
There's a balloon that inflates and stresses out when you're overworking and deflates and relaxes when you take your time back. It even checks the weather and nudges you when it's nice out.
$1.99, no subscription, no ads, no tracking. I priced it that way cause I didn't want to put ads in it and didn't want yet another subscription. Its $1.99 buy it, keep it, yours forever
I built it because I needed it. Figured other people might as well
