▶ IMPACT OF HIGH SCREEN TIME

- Poorer sleep
- Lower focus
- Increased anxiety or distress
The real issue isn’t just phone use — it’s when your phone starts controlling your time, attention, and rest.

▶ WHY MINIMALIST PHONE
Most screen time apps focus on timers or usage limits.
minimalist phone goes deeper — tackling the psychological hooks of modern tech through a calmer, more intentional phone experience.
We believe in change that is holistic, long-term, and sustainable. And honestly, deleting Instagram for one month does not cut it.
