Mindberry

Mindberry helps you create a healthy relationship with your device by interrupting long periods of screen time with a guided breathing technique.


Mindberry made the default Apple screen time block even better by:

- Adding a “Mindfulness Break."
Mindberry doesn’t just tell you to put down your phone—it provides you an alternative to feel better.

- Removing the “Ignore Limit” button.
Mindberry doesn't allow you to ignore the screen time block, helping you maintain your volition of using your phone less.


HOW IT WORKS

After using your device continuously for a certain length of time, Mindberry will politely interrupt you to take a break. When the “Have a mindberry” screen pops up, you...
- can open the Mindberry app for a short breathing exercise.
- can't use your phone for 5 minutes (except for the essential iOS apps).

Customize your mindfulness interruption and break to your liking. You can edit things like:
- which apps should be monitored
- how much screen time before an interruption
- how long your mindfulness break is


BACKED BY SCIENCE

Research shows that using a device for long periods of time can be overstimulating and create an unhealthy amount of mental arousal. Mindberry helps you unravel that hyper-arousal by cutting the source and replacing it with a breathing technique—a method proven to be calming and centering.

The mindfulness technique after extended screen time provides you insight into how your phone affects your mood and empowers you to build a healthier relationship with your device.
