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.
