not less but better

Hey, Christina here, Co-Founder and Psychologist. With my team, I created and designed the training concept. Ask me anything about the training experience, product, underlying behavior change principles and our research around it ( 👉https://preprints.jmir.org/prepr...). @saiboteur, @ricarda_harsch and me are happy to answer your questions. 🥳

👋 Hey Hunters, I’m Marius, Co-Founder & CTO of not less but better. We are beyond excited to finally share not less but better with the PH community and the world. After many many months of designing the training, 🧠 running a study to ensure its effectiveness 👩‍🔬 and developing and testing the app, 👨🏼‍💻 the nlbb app is here. 🚀 🧠 The Problem not less but better is the app that wasn’t there when we needed it the most. At the moment, almost every solution towards a healthy relationship to our phones is very much focused on isolation: blocking apps, hacks, digital detox. What makes sense in theory is a hard-to-reach goal in reality. Because most of us struggle to stick to the healthy lifestyle changes needed to build healthy habits. Instead, we fail and fall back to our unwanted habits. There’s no easy way to learn and stick to healthy phone use. But it’s much needed because excessive phone use harms all areas of our health, leaves us feeling anxious, stressed, depressed and it reduces the quality of our sleep. We asked ourselves: How can we use the benefits of our phones while reducing it’s risk for our health? 😌 not less but better in a nutshell not less but better is the digital wellbeing app that helps you become resilient to digital distraction. You’ll learn healthy phone use with five minutes of practice a day and feel in control again. The training is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It was developed by psychologists and is proven to work. ✨ What makes nlbb special not less but better is not another app that simply blocks distracting apps on your phone. It’s the opposite: nlbb strengthens your mind, so you gain the power to block digital distraction yourself. And build a digital life that supports your goals, not distracts from them. With the power of behavioral psychology. It’s the app that’s completely free of judgement. Also, the effectiveness was scientifically validated in a RCT. So it really works. 🎈 Features ⏰ Micro sessions that help you overcome unhealthy phone habits, with around just 5 minutes of practice a day. Powered by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. 😌 Guided courses customised to your needs: Social Media, For Parents, Work In Flow and Digital Mindfulness, and more to come. 🏅 Fun, engaging challenges designed to turn your learnings into long-term habits. Our vision is to make learning healthy technology use easy and accessible. So that technology improves our lives, and doesn’t distract from it. Right now, nlbb is available for iOS. We’ve been working on the Android app for quite some time, and it’s coming in Q3 2021. 🍰 The last thing: It’s launch week, and we’re celebrating with a 50% discount on the annual subscription until April 15th. Celebrate with us. We’re so excited to hear your feedback and ideas. 💬 We're here to answer your questions! 😊

I had the privilege of testing out some of the earlier app prototypes and could easily see how much research and dedication the team put into creating a beautiful and impactful user experience that helps you form long-lasting micro habits (: Go team!
