“Hands down the most effective
tool I’ve found… changed my life.

Also happens to be intuitive, fun,
and connective.” — Mark, Beta User

What's the deal?

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.

Our Answer

Time,
presence,
and attention.

For loved ones. Projects. Rest.

Soberphone is a mobile app that helps you build screen-life balance. Set goals, open apps with intention, and get support from friends in the moments that matter most.

No cold turkey.
No dumb phones.
No hyper-gamification.

Just flexible support for the screen-life
balance you want.

How It Works

The core components:

Decide what tech you struggle with and set goals for your ideal use.
Choose how long to “unlock” that tech for at each open.
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

You don’t have to do this alone.

You can use the goal setting and unlock timer tools on their own with great success. But add supporters and watch your life transform at the root.

Soberphone works where other tools don’t because lasting change comes from being seen, supported, and accountable to people who care about you. When you take your struggles out of isolation and embed them in community and connection, you go way beyond willpower, restriction, and hyper-gamification.
