A calmer relationship with your phone

Disconnecttoreconnect.

Social Detox slips a mindful moment between impulse and action — so you decide when to open the app, instead of your thumb deciding for you.

The idea

Don't prevent access.Make it intentional.

Most blockers just lock you out, so you fight them or switch them off. Social Detox does something quieter: it interrupts the autopilot with a small, deliberate act — and hands the decision back to you.

  1. Cue

    You reach for the app

  2. Pause

    A mindful barrier appears

  3. Reflect

    A breath, a real choice

  4. Act

    You decide — on purpose

How it works

Three steps to a calmer phone.

01

Pick your apps and windows

Choose the apps that pull you in and the hours they should stay shut — Work, Study, Sleep, Family. Overlapping schedules sort themselves out.

Meet a mindful barrier

Open a blocked app and a small challenge appears first — breathe, type a line, fill a bucket, or shake the phone. Just enough friction to wake you up.

Watch your tree thrive

Mindful days grow a living wellbeing tree; heavy scrolling and it sheds its leaves. Honest, gentle feedback you actually feel.

See it in action

Watch the pause come to life.

A quick look at how Social Detox and the Detox Tag turn an impulse into an intentional moment.

Mindful barriers

A pause thatchanges everything.

Reach for a blocked app and one of five small challenges meets you first — just enough friction to turn autopilot into a conscious choice.

Fill the Bucket

Tap to fill a virtual bucket — effort and delay interrupt the autopilot.

Balance the Ball

Steady a rolling ball to the center. Focus your hands, and your mind follows.

Meditation Breathing

Follow a guided breath to lower stress and reset before you scroll.

Color the Box

Color a displayed shape. A small, mindful moment of attention.

Shake to Complete

Shake your phone to fill the progress bar — real-world friction disrupts the habit.

A day, reclaimed

Hours that go back to your life.

Set it once. Then notice the quiet that opens up where the scrolling used to be.

Inside the app

Built to calm, not to capture.

No infinite feeds, no dark patterns, no badges begging for a tap. Just the quiet tools you need and nothing you don't.

“Went from doom-scrolling for hours to deep, distraction-free work blocks. The breathing barrier alone is worth it.
