Social Detox

Standard app blockers are too easy to bypass. That’s why we built Social Detox—the first digital wellbeing app paired with a physical BLE tag.

Social Detox App: Disconnect to Reconnect

The Social Detox App helps you regain control of your time, stay mindful, and detox from digital distractions. Transform your smartphone into a purposeful tool whenever you choose. By interrupting your automatic app usage, the Social Detox App helps you reclaim focus, attention, and valuable time. Use your phone on your terms and achieve mindful control over your digital life. Social Detox users recover more than an hour of screen time every day. How Does It Work?

1. Select the apps to block and schedule when you want them blocked.
2. Access blocked apps consciously using a Social Detox distraction barrier—a simple, intentional task that helps you think twice before proceeding.
3. Use the Social Detox Tag to automate your schedules seamlessly by turning it on or off.

Key Features of the Social Detox App:

• Block distracting apps and notifications by default.
• Set specific time schedules for app blocking—perfect for work, study, or rest.
• Customizable app selection—block only the apps you find distracting.
• Unblock apps with intentional tasks using the Social Detox distraction barriers.
• Choose or randomize barriers for added difficulty.
• Adjust the difficulty level of each barrier to match your goals.
• Flexible schedules for different needs—work, study, weekends, or personal time.

Choose Your Distraction Barrier:

The Social Detox Tag:

The Social Detox Tag is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device that acts as a remote control for your app schedules. Simply turn it on to block distracting apps according to your preset schedules or turn it off to regain access.

Research, such as Rational Override Theory, demonstrates that incorporating a physical action to regain virtual control of your phone is one of the most effective strategies for transforming screen time habits.
