He came to on top of a tree. Anything before that, he doesn't remember.
Now, inside Dameter, he's there beside you every day.
Not praising, not scolding. Just there.

Three-toed sloth. The only one in the world.

Not moving all day. Watching the sky. Talking in his sleep.

"It's okay to be a slacker." "Let's laze around." And "…"
Birthday
November 3. Japan's Culture Day. Declared, by himself, a day for doing nothing.
Words
Things Namataro might say to you.
It's okay to be a slacker.
Namataro wasn't waiting.
Stains on the ceiling: 47.
No need to try hard.
Today's human is too dazzling. Namataro can't look straight at you.
Rainy-day Namataro is invincible. His excuses for staying under the covers multiply.
Diary
Namataro wrote these down.
Written every day, whether the human looks at it or not.
A few excerpts.
Monday, July 13
Monday.
The day of the week Namataro hates most, used up.
That alone deserves credit.
Wednesday, July 15
Namataro counted 32 clouds today, then lost interest.
32 is a fine place to stop.
Saturday, July 18
Today the human was so active
they seemed to live in a different world from Namataro.
Sunday, July 19
Sunday night, and the futon says "come back tomorrow too."
The futon fears Monday as well.
Before you start
No pressure. No guilt. No homework.
OK
Setup: just tap "Allow"
Allow access to Health and Screen Time, and it measures everything on its own. No daily logging needed.
YOU
Your health data stays with you
Your steps and Screen Time are scored right on your iPhone. Dameter never uploads the raw numbers.
NO
No Apple Watch needed
Your iPhone alone can measure all five categories.
FREE
It's free. There are ads.
The app itself stays free, always. A small ad shows at the bottom of the screen (not while you have a supporter subscription). Every purchase is confirmed first, so you won't buy anything by accident.
Frequently asked
Questions you might have.
Is there an Android version?
At present, iPhone only. The app is built around the iPhone's Health and Screen Time features.
If I change phones, can I carry my score history over?
There is no in-app transfer feature. See Support for details.
Can I use it without allowing Screen Time?
Yes. You can choose "Later" during setup and allow it afterwards from the app's Settings. Until you allow it, the Screen Time category scores 0 points and your score is calculated from the other four.
Is there a widget?
Yes. You can show today's Slacker Score on your Home Screen (small and medium) and on your Lock Screen.
Can I turn notifications off?
Yes. Each kind of notification can be turned on or off in the app's Settings. Just turn off the ones you don't want.
