- Friends who want shared limits on phone use
- Worth noticing
- If nobody answers an app-unlock request within two minutes, the page says a model decides; phone, messages, maps, and other essentials never lock.
Field notes
The page lays out several specific rules: face-down rest starts automatically, lifting the phone ends it, and simultaneous rest speeds cooling. It also describes day-level and circle-week summaries, with stickers tied to measured days. The site mentions an invite code, but the supplied page evidence does not show an app download or demonstrate these features in use.
