We created Monk because we believe life happens in the spaces between notifications.

"Your phone should be your tool, not your master".

As digital natives who grew up with smartphones constantly in our hands, we noticed something troubling: these incredible tools that promised to connect us were actually pulling us away from what matters most—our work, our relationships, our presence.

The Problem We're Solving

We tried everything to regain control: app blockers, screen time limits, even locking our phones in timed safes. But software solutions were too easy to bypass, and extreme measures meant losing access to the genuinely useful aspects of our devices.

What we needed was balance—a way to keep the helpful parts of our phones while effortlessly removing the distractions.

Enter Monk Mode

Monk was born from this need. A simple physical device that, with a single tap, transforms your relationship with technology. No complicated settings, no willpower battles, just intentional presence at your fingertips.

We use Monk daily—to focus deeply on creative work, to stay present during family dinners, and to rediscover the joy of an undistracted walk. The difference has been profound.

This isn't just about productivity. It's about reclaiming the richness of an undistracted life.

"Every tap is a choice to be present for what truly matters"

We're building Monk in the EU with a commitment to simplicity, privacy, and human-centered design. No subscriptions, no data collection—just a thoughtful tool to help you live more intentionally.

Join us in creating a more mindful relationship with technology, one tap at a time.
