A calmer way to use your phone
Know when you've crossed the line.
Threshold detects the moment a quick check becomes an uncontrolled session and helps you stop before regret.

The pattern
You already checked 4 times today.
None of them felt intentional.
It's 11 PM.
The scroll that was supposed to end at 10.
How threshold works
Not a blocker. A detector.
Step 1
It learns your patterns.
Threshold watches how long your sessions usually last. Not to judge, to understand your normal.
Intentional
Usual session length
Drift risk
Slightly past your usual stop
Overrun
The session keeps extending
Step 2
It notices when something changes.
When a session runs longer than your usual stopping point, Threshold sends a quiet signal. Not an alarm. A nudge.
Thresholdnow
You've been here longer than usual.
A quiet signal to help you decide with a clear head.
Step 3
You decide what happens next.
Wrap up, take 3 more intentional minutes, or keep going. No punishment. No guilt. Just awareness.
Threshold card
You've crossed your usual stopping point.
Wrap up
3 more minutes
Keep going
Most apps get lost somewhere between 'just a quick check' and an hour later.
What changes
The day feels a little less pulled around.
Not because the phone disappears. Because the moments around it feel quieter, clearer, and a little more deliberate.
01
Cleaner focus
Fewer small detours between the work you meant to do.
02
Calmer evenings
Less of the moment where one check quietly turns into an hour.
03
More presence
A little less phone gravity in the parts of the day that matter.

Pricing
Premium tools, honest price.
Still clearly less than the apps you're trying to use less.
