We dream of a world where smartphones serve people without taking over their lives.
Where your smartphone is a useful tool and not a dominant distractor. Where you decide how you spend your time and attention, instead of living to the rhythm of your screen.


We are built to connect. Not through likes or quick messages, but through eye contact, touch, conversations and real presence. During the corona time, we all felt how fundamental that need is: the desire to meet physically, to be together, to simply be part of something bigger than a screen.
And yet we notice that, now that the world is open again, a new barrier is emerging. Our smartphone-once meant to make contact easier – intrudes between us and our relationships.
Not only between us and the people around us, but also between us and ourselves. More and more often we lose focus, peace and connection due to an endless stream of notifications, updates and expectations that never stop.

We understand the challenges of the digital age and inspire small, lasting changes and deep reflection with an optimistic, guilt-free approach. So that you can control yourself.
It is our mission to guide people step by step towards more conscious phone use. Not with drastic rules, but with small, smart insights and concrete handles.
Through self-reflection, science – inspired tools and playful challenges, we help you reconnect-with yourself, with others, and with what really matters to you.
