ScreenBuddy

Your partner in fighting phone addiction

In a world where the average person spends over 4 hours daily on their phone, ScreenBuddy offers a gentle approach to regaining control of your digital life. Unlike traditional app blockers, ScreenBuddy creates mindful moments of pause before you open potentially distracting apps like Instagram or TikTok.

Our approach is simple but powerful: when you reach for a distracting app, ScreenBuddy presents a calming animation with haptic feedback, followed by a simple question: "Are you sure you want to enter?" This brief pause helps break the automatic habit of mindless scrolling, empowering you to make conscious decisions about your screen time

ScreenBuddy isn't about rigid restrictions – it's about building a healthier relationship with your phone through mindful choices. Whether you're a student looking to improve focus, a professional seeking better work-life balance, or anyone wanting to be more present in life, ScreenBuddy helps you take back control, one pause at a time.

Why This Matters:

Mental health professionals are raising alarms:

  • CDC reports significant increases in hospital admissions for non-fatal self-harm among young people

  • Rising suicide rates, particularly among adolescent girls

  • Growing correlation between screen time and decreased attention spans

Gen Z, the first generation to experience social media from middle school, shows concerning trends:

  • Higher rates of anxiety and depression than previous generations

  • Decreased comfort with taking risks and real-world social interactions

  • Lower rates of traditional milestones like getting driver's licenses or going on dates

Daily life impact:

  • Disrupted sleep patterns from late-night scrolling

  • Reduced face-to-face interactions and social skills

  • Decreased productivity and academic performance

  • Heightened feelings of loneliness and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
