Put the phone down, take your life back
Mindless puts one intentional pause between you and the feed, so you can catch the reflex, understand the urge, and choose your time on purpose.
Free to download. Full access requires a subscription.
A demonstration of the Mindless flow: a doomscrolling feed is interrupted by an intention check that asks what you are actually looking for, and the session ends with time returned to your day.
One pause can break the whole loop.
Mindless puts one intentional pause between you and the feed. Not a hard block, a moment. Enough space to catch the reflex, name what you actually came for, and choose whether this is it.
Choose the apps that pull you into autopilot.
Set intention checks, blocks, schedules, and limits around the apps you want to use more deliberately.

4 to 6 hours a day. Gone.
That is more than 2,000 hours a year. Mindless does not shame the number. It shows it to you, then helps you spend it on purpose.
Scrolled without deciding to.
On purpose, and put down.
Your phone has different jobs. Your boundaries should too.
The phone is not the problem. It is the place you go to avoid the real one.
Small tools, real friction
Hold the boundary
Group apps, set schedules, and cap daily limits that match your real life. Boundaries that stay put when your willpower does not.
Break the reflex
Add enough friction to turn an automatic override into a deliberate decision. Make the override intentional.
See the pattern
Connect your intentions, moods, journals, and usage so the app can show you what keeps pulling you back.
This is what the pause looks like.
Real screens from Mindless. Your focus score, your boundaries, your patterns, and the reflections that connect them.
Letters to Mindless
"I use my phone to escape from boredom and lack the discipline to stop. I find myself spending 9 to 13 hours a day on my phone, and I truly don't know how to break this cycle despite trying every single day."
"Thank you for taking the time to create a safer world. Less suffering, more presence."
"For years, my phone was taking over my life, endless scrolling, missed opportunities to connect with people around me, and constant fatigue from all the screen time. In a couple of weeks, my usage went way down, and I've noticed real improvements: more time for hobbies, better sleep, and actually being present in conversations."
"My problem is the constant feeling I'm going to miss something important. Which often makes me miss important things."
Every reply to our newsletter is read by Sam, the founder. No team, no filter.
"My biggest problem is that I no longer enjoy life the way I used to. I lost interest in the things I used to love. All I do now is Instagram."
"I've realised that my problem is loneliness and through the scrolling I am looking for connection. Now I've realised that, the scrolling is better."
"I come from a military background and consider myself disciplined, but I still caught myself mindlessly scrolling chasing dopamine. Mindless helped me notice it before I slipped into autopilot. That awareness alone has made a huge difference in how I use my phone."
"My biggest problem is my inability to be bored."
"My biggest problem is sitting with my thoughts and the to-do list I have. It overwhelms me and leads me to pick up my phone to scroll endlessly to avoid that feeling."
"I really love the concept of Mindless and I'm ready to tackle my habits."
"My biggest problem is that I don't like myself. I only feel good and alive when I actively practice self love."
"It's helped me be way more aware of my scrolling without making me feel guilty or restricted. Super easy to set up and feels supportive instead of annoying."
"My biggest problem is the anxiety that comes when I decide not to open Instagram and my nervous system tells me there is definitely something urgent. And yeah, I know it is not, but it is hard to ignore this sharp feeling."
