“Do you find yourself checking social media every chance you get?”
“Do you habitually turn on your smartphone without any purpose, only to browse for long periods?”
From waking up and checking your smartphone to staring at it until just before sleep, smartphones have become integral to our daily routines.
The average smartphone usage for modern individuals is reported to be around 5 hours a day.
Approximately one-third of our valuable daily hours are spent looking at our smartphones.
“If we can’t completely separate smartphones from our lives, can’t we use them smartly only when necessary?”
BeLight was created from this very question.
Algorithms constantly entice us to use our smartphones more. Those mindless taps on likes and reaction buttons encourage us to spend more time on our phones, drawing us back with even more engaging algorithms. Consequently, interest in digital detox is on the rise. Digital detox refers to actions aimed at reducing and improving our excessive dependence on smartphones. Common digital detox methods include using a “Dumb Phone” with extremely limited functions or setting time limits for each app.
BeLight offers a way to improve the habit of unconsciously checking your phone while allowing you to use smartphone apps only when necessary.
