What exactly is my "Balance Score"?

Your Roots "Balance Score" is a personalized score that helps you understand your daily balance with screen time.


Your score is calculated based on the "Intentions" you set, and how you are progressing against them.

How is my "Balance Score" calculated?

You start each day "In Balance" with a score of 99.

Throughout the day your score moves up and down based on how you use your phone, and "positive offsets" like steps, and mindfulness.

How should I use my "Balance Score?

Check your balance score throughout the day to see how you are trending. See if you can stay above 80!

  • 90+: you are very balanced!

  • 80-89: you are doing pretty well and in balance

  • 70-79: you may want to put down your phone to get back into balance.

  • Below 69: you have fallen out of balance!
