An app that turns any price into hours of your life ⏳

Hey IHers 👋

I just launched Price of Time — an Android app built around one stubborn idea:

Money is an abstraction. Time isn't.

When you see a $1,200 gadget, your brain shrugs. But when the app tells you "that's 47 hours of your life", something clicks — and you negotiate with yourself very differently.

How it works:

• Scan or type a price → it instantly shows the cost in work hours / days of your life, based on your real income
• Decide on the spot: Buy, Save, or Postpone
• Every purchase you skip feeds your savings stats and your goals (e.g. "save $2,000 toward a car")
• Achievements + monthly streaks to keep the habit alive

Under the hood (for the builders here):

• Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Room + Firebase, offline-first sync
• One single source of truth for all money↔time math (learned that the hard way after 4 diverging copies 😅)
• 25 languages, multi-currency
• Free vs Premium (extended history, unlimited goals, no ads, Excel export)

It's live on Google Play now — would love some real downloads and brutal feedback:

Two things I'd genuinely love your take on:

1. Does the "price → hours of life" framing actually change how you'd spend?
2. What would make you keep it past week one?

Happy to share the tech behind anything. Thanks for reading 🙏
