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.

  • Translate daily Shorts use into lifetime hours.
  • See a directional opportunity-cost estimate by region and currency.
  • Save or share your result as a Story or square post.

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
