Set, log,
see clearly.
Three steps to set up. Then Mirror does the math, every transaction, on your device alone.
Your post-tax rate, on your device.
Open the app, tap “Set your hourly rate”, and enter your post-tax take-home — what your time actually earns after federal, provincial/state, and payroll taxes. The rate lives in the iOS app sandbox on your phone and is editable any time.
Takes about 30 seconds. The math is yours, kept simple and visible.
- Stored on your device only
- No payroll connection — you own the calculation
- Editable any time, retroactively or forward-only
- Historical Time Wealth values stay locked to the rate at the time of each transaction
Manual entry, by design.
Tap the “+” in Activity, type the amount, pick a category. The app annotates it with the time it cost based on your rate and shows you the running effect on your 30, 90, and 365-day Mirror.
Mirror does not connect to a bank, a payroll provider, or any third-party data source. Manual entry is a deliberate trade: you give up automatic import, you get a finance app with nothing to leak.
- Edit or delete any transaction in one tap
- Custom categories with SF Symbol icons
- Recurring items (rent, subscriptions, salary) auto-applied
- Everything stored on your device, encrypted by iOS Data Protection when locked
Every transaction, automatically annotated.
From the moment your accounts connect, Mirror translates every transaction into hours. The Mirror screen shows your last 30, 90, or 365 days as a single hero figure: how many hours of your life this period of spending represents.
Top categories are ranked. Standout expenses are surfaced. Pull-quote reframes turn dollar abstractions into time honesty. Honest, never judgmental.
One equation. Repeated forever.

Mirror waits a week before the first reflection.
A deliberate choice, not a constraint.
Three days of transactions is statistical noise. Seven days is a pattern. The first reflection you see in Mirror is the first one worth seeing.
During the wait, you’ll see every transaction land with its time annotation. Coffee at 09:14 = 14 minutes. Dinner at 19:42 = 2h 15m. The math runs from day one, but the synthesis waits.
