What Regretly Estimates

Regretly turns daily usage into years, hours, opportunity cost, and a 0-100 Regret Score. The result is directional, personal, and built to help you decide what to change next.

  • Measure daily Instagram use and years with the habit.
  • See hours, days, years, income opportunity cost, books, and workouts missed.
  • Create a share card your friends can compare against.

How We Estimate This

Time lost = daily hours x years with habit x 365.25

Opportunity cost = time lost x estimated hourly value

Regret Score = usage intensity + accumulated loss + life share
