Built on a proven insight.
"I founded Before The Internet, by far the largest phone-free experiential brand in North America. Now we've built the platform version of the same insight: phones are the problem, and people want a better way."
— Max Ward, FounderBefore The Internet has hosted phone-free events with artists, labels and brands at the highest level. DisConnect brings that to the workday.

Employees lose somewhere between 56 minutes and 2.5 hours a day to unproductive phone use. That's 12% to 31% of an 8-hour workday. Nearly a full working day, every week, per person.
What's your phone costing your team?

How DisConnect works at work.
A hybrid of a focus blocker and a rewards card. Not surveillance.
Tap on. Tap off. The hours come back, and employees get rewards for it.
Tap to disconnect
Tap a physical card to start a phone-free session. Hold to end. One gesture, phone down.
Focus modes & schedules
Custom app blocking and automatic weekday schedules that run themselves.
Zero surveillance
We never see or store employee screen-time data. No dashboards of who scrolled. Nobody gets "caught".
Non-punitive by design
A benefit for staff, not a policy imposed on them. It enables focus instead of policing it.
Either way, it's a perk, not a punishment.

A perk, not a policy.
When people get their time back, DisConnect fills it. The lifestyle layer is what makes rollout easy: staff opt in because it feels like a gift, and the company still gets the productive hours.
