What it does
💡 A completely new social media solely designed to help you spend more time focused and get in deeper states of focus. ⚡ Get work done faster, make sure your time is well spent, and be more tech aware. 🌱 Offset 1.2kg of CO2 for every hour you focus.
Not after hours doomscrolling. The screen time app for people who outsmart blockers.
Clicking before there's even a notification? That dopamine-seeking impulse is exactly what social apps are designed to exploit. Unscroll just shows you when it's happening.
