Finally, an app designed to work
WITH your brain.

You know the cycle. Hyperfocus on your phone for hours. Feel awful. Promise to do better. Repeat. We get it - because we live it too.

🧠 Built by founders with ADHD and ASD who understand

We understand because we live it

🌀

The doom scroll vortex

You pick up your phone to check one thing. Two hours later, you surface feeling worse than before. Your brain craves the dopamine hits, even when you know they're not helping.

Julie has ADHD. She's been there.

Apps that punish don't work

Lockout timers trigger anxiety. Screen time numbers feel like a judgement. Blocking apps becomes a game to defeat. Your brain finds workarounds because it's clever like that.

Mark has ASD. Rigid systems don't fit fluid needs.

😔

The shame spiral

You already feel bad about your phone use. Apps that show you scary numbers just add guilt. Shame doesn't change behaviour - it makes it worse.

No guilt trips here. Promise.

Notifications that help

You'll forget this app exists. That's not a character flaw - it's how our brains work. We'll send reminders because we know you need them. That's support, not nagging.

You choose: morning, evening, or none.

What makes beò different

We designed this for brains like ours - not neurotypical ideals.

Other apps say

"You spent 6 hours on your phone today"

beò says

"Ready for a 30-second reset? Run cold water over your hands."

Other apps say

"You're locked out for the next 2 hours"

beò says

"No lockouts. You're in control. Always."

Other apps say

"You broke your streak. Start over."

beò says

"No streaks. No points. Just tools when you want them."

Other apps say

"Set a goal and stick to it"

beò says

"Flexible. Use it daily, weekly, or whenever. No rigid rules."

Yes, we'll remind you

Because we know you'll forget. That's not a flaw - it's how our brains work. Reminders are support, not surveillance.

What you'll get:

  • One weekly check-in reminder (10 seconds, we promise)
  • Optional daily "try a pause" prompt (you choose the time)
  • You can turn everything off anytime
  • No guilt if you ignore them
