You can’t outsmart the algorithm

Your phone is designed to be addictive. There are thousands of engineers working 24/7 to keep you scrolling. You cannot beat a supercomputer with just your willpower.

We didn’t build another app to fight apps.

We tried Apple’s Screen Time. We tried deleting apps. But digital walls are too thin—they are too easy to ignore. If the lock is just a button on the screen, you will eventually press it.

How the Card Works

We replaced the digital button with a physical action. Your distracting apps stay locked by default. To open them, you must physically tap the Reboot Card to the back of your phone.

It creates a mandatory pause. You have to reach for the card to get access. If you don’t tap, you don’t scroll.

No notifications. No negotiations. Just focus.

The Result

That split-second action changes everything. It stops the "zombie mode" where you unlock your phone without thinking.

It gives your brain just enough time to ask: “Do I really need to check this?”

Usually, the answer is no.

It turns doomscrolling back into a conscious choice.

Why We Built This

We started Reboot for a simple reason: we were tired of losing control of our own time.

We aren’t some big faceless company. We are just people who realized we were losing hours of our lives to screens every single day. We tried every hack and every limit, but nothing stuck.

So we built the solution we needed.

We use the Reboot Card every day to reclaim our focus, our hobbies, and our sanity. We want to help you do the same.
