Soberphone

5.0 on the App Store

Soberphone: Set a limit. Tell a friend.
Break the spell.

Not another app blocker. A real path out of screen addiction.

What it is

An app to break screen addiction, with friends at the center.

Soberphone is built around social support, one of the most researched and proven tools for behavior change. It’s modeled after what actually works for addiction.

Go beyond willpower, gamification, and focus‑hacks.

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.

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.
