Anchor

No judgment. Just the next 30 minutes, for you.

Caught yourself scrolling again?
Pause and choose what you want to do now.
Anchor gives you a moment to come back to yourself.
Restrict access to the apps you choose for 30 minutes, and protect that time.

Moments

For moments like these.

  • At the end of the day

    When you finally have time to yourself and want to spend it on something beyond scrolling.

  • When something matters to you

    Read, study, or make something. Give it just the next 30 minutes.

  • When your head feels full

    Sort through what is on your mind and choose one thing to do now.

  • When you need a break

    When you want to make room for rest, rather than push yourself to do more.

How it works

Check in. Choose one thing. Make time.

Focus, clear your head, or rest. Start where you are.

  1. Check in

    Choose how you feel: ready to focus, wanting to clear your head, or needing a little rest.

  2. Choose one thing

    Decide what you want the next 30 minutes to be for, and select the apps you want a break from.

  3. Make time

    Start Anchor Time. Access to the apps you selected is restricted while you make room for your chosen activity.

Anchor Time

A 30-minute break
from the apps you choose.

Anchor Time uses the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute break.
Access to the apps you select stays restricted for the full 30 minutes, including the break, so your break does not turn into more scrolling.
You choose which apps to step away from, such as social media or video apps. Restrictions apply only during Anchor Time, and you can end a session early.

After Anchor Time

Afterwards,
a moment to reflect.

“Did you feel a little more like yourself?”
Look back at your chosen activity and time in your log.
Completed or ended early, each session is a record of a choice you made.

Your own pace

At your own pace.

  • No scores or rankings
  • Rest is a choice, too
  • You can end a session early
