Our Story

When I was 23, I went on a fishing trip and left my phone in the car. It was only three days, but for the first time in years, I felt completely present. That weekend made me realize that Mom was right, it is the damn phone.

But the phone is only part of the problem. Even after dramatically cutting my screen time, I realized I didn't always know what to do with my reclaimed hours. I wasn't just addicted to my phone; I'd forgotten how to seek out novelty and meaningful experiences.


That feeling of, "Shit... I'm not really living enough," is something I know a lot of people our age quietly carry around.


So we built DisConnect: the world's first Screen Time app that also doubles as a social discovery platform. We help you win back your time, then give you better ways to spend it.


Our hope isn't just to help you spend less time on your phone, but to help you build a life that's so exciting that you don't want to be on it in the first place.
