A 20-second walkthrough: pick a limit, send your weekly screenshot, get your money back.
How much time would you get back?
Move the slider to your daily social media time. We'll suggest a plan.

Suggested plan
A big but doable cut from where you are now.
Why not just use your phone's own limits?
Because ignoring them is free.
| Phone screen time limits | Nuverdi | |
|---|---|---|
| When you hit the limit | Tap "Ignore limit" and carry on | You lose your stake |
| One bad day | Limit resets every day | Weekly average, so you can make it up |
| Who checks | Only you | A real person checks your screenshot |
| What you get for sticking to it | Nothing | Your stake back, minus £5 |
| Cost | Free | £5 a month if you succeed. Your stake if you don't. |
Where your money goes
You pay through Stripe, one of the world's biggest payment companies, so we never see your card details.
If you stick to your limit, we refund your stake minus £5 within 7 days of your month ending. The £5 pays for a real person checking every screenshot you send, card fees and keeping Nuverdi running.
If you go over, Nuverdi keeps that month's stake. That's the whole idea: the limit only works if breaking it costs you something.
Your data
- What we keep: your email, your plan and the screenshots you send.
- Your card details stay with Stripe. We never see them.
- We never sell or share your data, and there are no ads.
- Screenshots are deleted 30 days after each month's result.
- No tracking cookies. We only count anonymous visits.
One screenshot a week
Take a screenshot of your weekly screen time from each device you use: phone, iPad, laptop. Your limit covers them all.
Upload it within 48 hours of the week ending. Miss the window and you lose your stake.
A real person checks every screenshot against your plan's limit before your money comes back.
What a valid screenshot shows
- The dates of the week that just ended.
- Social media: the Social category, or your social apps.
- Your daily average for that week.
- Every device: one screenshot per phone, iPad or laptop you use, or turn on "Share Across Devices" on Apple.
Won't be accepted: cropped or edited screenshots, a single day instead of the week, or someone else's phone.
iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → See all activity → Week. Android: Settings → Digital Wellbeing.
If you cheat, you only cheat yourself.
Why I started Nuverdi
I was at the gym one evening, waiting for a machine, and everyone around me was on their phone, just scrolling. They'd finished work, they'd made it to the gym, and the time was still slipping away. Ten minutes here, an hour there. Over a year, it adds up to weeks of your life.
Screen time limits don't fix that, because skipping them is free. So I built one where skipping costs you, and sticking to it gets your money back.

Questions people ask
Something else? Email [email protected].
Why is there a £5 fee?
It pays for a real person to check every screenshot you send, plus card fees and running the site. You only pay it in months you pass. If you join the waitlist, your first month has no fee.
What happens if I fail a month?
Nuverdi keeps that month's stake. Your plan carries on next month with a fresh start, unless you cancel. You can also win some back: every friend who joins with your code takes £5 off your next payment.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. Every member gets their own friend code on their My Nuverdi page. Your friend enters it at checkout and skips the £5 fee on their first month. Once their payment goes through, you get £5 off your next payment. There's no limit.
Is my data safe?
We only keep your email, your plan and your screenshots, and we never sell or share any of it. Card details stay with Stripe. Screenshots are deleted 30 days after each month's result. Email [email protected] any time and we'll delete everything.
Is this gambling?
No. Nothing is left to chance. Whether you get your money back depends only on your own screen time, which you control. Nuverdi is a commitment service: you put money behind a goal to help you stick to it.
What about my iPad or laptop?
They count. Your limit covers your total across every device you use social media on. Send a screenshot from each one (up to 4), or on Apple turn on "Share Across Devices" in Screen Time and one iPhone screenshot covers all your Apple devices. Using a device you didn't include means you fail that month.
Which apps count?
Social media apps like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, X and Facebook. We go by the social category in your phone's screen time settings.
What if I forget to upload my screenshot?
You have 48 hours after each week ends. If no screenshot arrives in that time, the week counts as missed and you lose that month's stake. We email you a reminder on Monday morning, and again on Tuesday evening if you still haven't uploaded.
When do I get my money back?
If you pass the month, we refund your stake minus the £5 fee to your original card within 7 days. Banks usually take another 5 to 10 days to show it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Email us any time and your plan won't renew next month. The month you're in still counts.
Do I need the app?
No. Until the app launches, you log in to My Nuverdi on this website to send your weekly screenshot and follow your progress.
Who can join?
Anyone aged 18 or over living in the UK.
Not ready yet?
Join the waitlist and your first month has no £5 fee. We'll also email you when the Nuverdi app launches.
