The premise
Soberphone is the accountability app for screen time, combining social support with unique goal-setting tools that rewire our behavior.
Most of us want more ease and agency over our screen time. We want to make peace with our phones.
This peace becomes possible, almost inevitable, when we invite support from people we trust, rather than relying on willpower, gamification, or blockers.
The insight
We change when
we're witnessed.
Behavioral science says that change happens when we take our actions out of isolation and embed them in community, in real human connection.

How it works
Decide what tech you struggle with and set goals for your ideal use.
Choose how long to use that tech for at each open with the “Unlock” Timer.
Add supporters to motivate real change. They’ll be invited to check in if you decide to exceed a goal.
Watch your orb. It changes to reflect your progress. Keep it vibrant by meeting your goals each day.
The philosophy
There's a lot to love about our screens.
The utility, the connection, the whole world in our hands.
But we're totally hooked.
Hours, weeks, and years of our lives spent unintentionally absorbed.
We're not meant to face this alone.
It takes a lot more than willpower to get free. And most existing solutions miss the emotional and relational core of the issue.
Healing happens in connection. Not in isolation.
Decades of research on compulsion and addiction are clear on this.
Fed up and ready? Excited and determined?
Soberphone is not your average focus-hack app. It’s a joyful, human-centered, and evidenced-backed process that can free you from the spell of your screen.

Occasional notes on the app, the movement, and finding balance together.
I've tried Brick, I've tried Minimalist. This is the only app that has actually worked for me. The scroll right when my 5 minute timer goes off is fun and enlightening. It's simply the only solution to actually put down my phone and focus on real life.
Best app ever! I've been using Soberphone for months and I've tried everything. It works! I'm spending less time on my phone and more time doing what I want and need to do.
Super helpful for regulating my screen time, and a low key fun way to create accountability every day. I've built a more mindful relationship with my phone.
5.0 out of 5 on the App Store. Join thousands of people finding a healthier rhythm with their phones.
