Average daily screen time. Every day. For the rest of your life.
2,617
Times you touch your phone per day. Most of them without thinking.
13 yrs
What the average person will spend staring at a phone screen in their lifetime.
88%
Of people check their phone within 10 minutes of waking up. Before they've spoken to anyone.
You're not in control of your phone. Your phone is in control of you. It was designed that way.

How much life are you giving away?
If you change nothing

Of your waking life
That's 9.4 years you'll never get back. Not living. Not creating. Not connecting. Just scrolling.
The mission
We don't build apps.
We build hardware that
mutes the noise.
Software can't fix a software problem. Every “screen time” app is still an app on your phone, fighting for your attention with everything else. We went physical. Products you can touch, wear, and put between you and the machine.
