🧠 ABOUT

Smartphones, although essential, often lead us to unwanted distractions.

Our unique approach incorporates a 20-second barrier to accessing potentially distracting apps. This brief pause encourages mindful decision-making, giving your brain the chance to engage and decide if you really need to use the app or if you can do something more wise and fulfilling.

🔍 FUNCTIONALITY

Peaceful Phone, Peaceful Mind

20-second Barrier
This barrier gives you a moment to reflect: Do I really need to use that app now? It gives your brain time to activate more long-sighted thinking instead of the addictive behavior of mindlessly opening apps.

• App Timer (Blocking Service)

• Calmed Notifications (Notification Filter)

• Screen Time (Usage Statistics)

• Double-tap to lock

• Hold for brightness

• Minimalist Design: No flashy icons or colors. A clean, simple interface that reduces cognitive overload and helps you focus on your essential apps.

🤯🏚️
Smartphones are designed to keep you engaged. Sensory overload from enticing, colorful attention-grabbing icons is fooling your brain into thinking the screen is important. Impulse-driven apps hijack your focus. People end up distracted by notifications, procrastinating and wasting away their lives on mindless scrolling. We open apps absentmindedly and fill our minds with cognitive noise that makes us overwhelmed by those dopamine-wasting apps. Apps that you open on impulse and that steal your attention. Instead of drowning in your screen, reduce distraction and block with the blocker. A clean wallpaper and icons that are simply text (or emojis if you want ^^). Manage overstimulation, and simplify your digital space.

😌🌱
