The Still Screen

A calm phone setup for reclaiming your focus

Your phone isn't too powerful. It's just set up to win.

Out of the box, it's designed to pull you back in: bright icons, red badges, alerts from apps you forgot you had, and feeds with no bottom. Trying to "just use it less" means fighting all of that with willpower, every day.

The Still Screen changes the setup instead. You won't delete your apps or throw your phone in a drawer. You'll keep everything that helps you and quiet everything that doesn't, so you pick up your phone because you decided to, not because it called you.

Start in 10 minutes

The Quick Start covers the three changes that do most of the work. Short on time? Do just this part and feel the difference the same day.
