you wanted to quickly check your notifications before bed… now it’s hours later and you’re watching conspiracy theories about the moon landing. you had your chance. you blew it. boomers telling you to put your phone down didn’t work either. so, we made an app to put your phone down for you.   log off harnesses the magic of brain rot to help you reclaim your sleep, inner-peace, and focus. here’s how it works: 1) select situations where you want to limit distracting apps (ex. limit instagram and tiktok before bed) 2)  set breaks to use distracting apps during those situations* (ex. two 5-minute breaks and one 10-minute break… or try no breaks and begin the path to enlightenment) 3)  when the block is active, you’ll see our homemade, brain rot-inspired memes– unless you take a break* 4)  use your breaks to scroll guilt-free! log off will not let you end your block early or add more breaks. you’ll never need willpower to stay off distracting apps again 5) the more you block apps, the more logs you'll earn. logs can be used to purchase trees and grow your forest* 6) as you hit different milestones throughout the app, you'll earn badges which reward you with logs and trees* 7) start a one-time block with ease whenever you need to log off on the fly* 8)  schedule vacations from blocks for when you’re out of your routine and life demands unlimited scrolling* log off is perfect if... - you want to limit your screen time without thinking about limiting your screentime - you’d rather save your willpower for more important things than resisting the urge to not watch another carpet being power-cleaned  - you thought apple's screen time settings could fix you (we’re not like those other apps) - you like playing games and want a fun incentive to stop scrolling log off is not for you if… - you want to rely on your willpower to avoid excessive doomscrolling 24/7/365 - you live to please our almighty tech overlords (and whoever invented snapchat) - you don't like having fun popular ways to improve your life with log off: - better sleep: block late-night doomscrolling and reclaim an hour (or three) of actual sleep. good sleep is the #1 indicator of long-term health and having even a shard of free will. - peaceful mornings: start your day without algorithmically-engineered chaos. you deserve mornings without war footage, a burger with way too much cheese, or 5 signs your partner is fork-lift certified. - more vacation homes for your shareholders:  it’s not all about you! don’t forget that by setting a workday block, you are massively increasing your productivity, which helps the president of your company finally buy that fifth beach home they so desperately deserve. if you’re tired of big tech’s armies of super-nerds stealing your attention, log off makes it impossible to lose. just a warning, you’re still going to see memes designed to kill brain cells. now put down your phone and log off… but download the app first. *using the app blocking, forest game, and vacation features require a subscription. terms: https://tegridylabs.tech/terms

Here’s how: Meditate to unlock – our soft app blocking feature creates a mindful moment before distractions begin. Take a short breath before opening certain apps. No more autopilot to distracting apps. Daily guided meditations – access guided meditations and micro-mindfulness exercises to reset your mind daily. Turn insight into action – get personalized screen time analysis to uncover patterns, triggers, and areas for growth.

Track your transformation – a clear, encouraging progress system keeps you motivated as you build mindfulness and intention into every tap. Try all features free during your trial. After the trial, access requires a subscription. We believe mindful tools should be accessible - if cost is a barrier, reach out. We’re here to help. Join 10 000+ users who have already liberated themselves. The average person spends over 6 hours a day on their phone. What about you? The root cause? Low mindfulness. It’s so easy to open Instagram or TikTok and, hours later, realize you’ve lost track of time. Hours have passed by. Your mind is on autopilot. East Asian philosophy describes this as the "Monkey Mind" - restless and mindlessly jumping from one thing to another. Like every addiction, breaking the habit seems like fighting uphill against yourself. And harsh measures such as blocking apps, or setting time limits never seem to work in the long run. Monkeyless takes a radically different approach. Why? 1. The root cause of doomscrolling is the restless "Monkey Mind," shaped by years of conditioning toward constant distractions such as your phone. 2. The only solution lies in calming this same mind with mindfulness. Simply blocking apps or setting time limits, like most screen time apps do, don't address the root issue. 3. Cultivate mindfulness with meditation. Combine pragmatism with optimism. You don't have to be a monk to do this - but hey, we always welcome you to join us. Science? Using mindfulness backed by science, we make it easier to break these habits in a lasting way. Meditation has been proven to effectively help in dismantling addictive behaviors. For instance, a study on Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) found that mindfulness training was associated with a reduction in relapse rates among individuals, and it could help manage stress-induced addictive behaviour​. Other research on MBRP and similar approaches has shown reductions in relapse, emotional distress, and impulses. Ancient wisdom from thousands of years ago is still highly relevant today. Change with Monkeyless, break free from the Monkey Mind forever. AI Transparency Notice: Monkeyless uses artificial intelligence to assist in creating the audio tracks for our guided meditations.
