Our values

Six rules for building something people should use less.

These are the commitments we check our own work against.

01

On your side

We succeed when you spend less time on your phone, not more time in our app. If those two ever pull apart, your time wins.

02

No dark patterns

No guilt streaks, no manufactured urgency, no tricks to keep you subscribed. We will not fight attention traps by building one.

03

Private by default

How you use your phone is about as personal as data gets. We aim to collect as little of it as we can and to be plain about what we do with it.

04

Kind, not preachy

Nobody builds a habit by being scolded. The product should sound like a friend who remembers what you said you wanted.

05

Small steps over big resets

Ten pages tonight beats a digital detox you abandon by Thursday. We design for the smallest change that actually sticks.

06

Built to be put down

A good tool gets out of the way. We measure ourselves by what you did with the time, not by how often you opened us.

Hold us to it. Try it early.
