It's a charging dock and an app. The phone charges on the dock, out of your hand — and the app counts the hours, then turns them into streaks and challenges with friends.
We reach for our phones without thinking, fill quiet moments with scrolling, and end each day wondering where the hours went.
The research on heavy phone use points the same way on three things: sleep gets worse, attention gets shorter, anxiety gets higher. Whether the phone causes that or runs the other way round is still argued, and we are not going to settle it here.
Where the hours go is not in doubt. Four hours thirty-seven minutes a day, on average, in the UK. That is seventy days a year.
The Mute Dock gives the phone somewhere else to be — off the table, out of your pocket, charging in the room you're not in.
Challenges you run on your own or with your club — quieter mornings, overnight charging, streaks you'd rather not break.
Accountability with friends. You stick at things when someone else knows you're trying. Your club's leaderboard, updated live.
None of the three does much on its own. That's why we're building all three.
A charging dock, an app that counts every docked minute, and a club you do it with. Nothing is blocked and nothing is locked — the phone comes off whenever you want.
