Built By People Who've Been There
Rewired was created by students who struggled with the same addiction you're facing. We built the tool we wished existed.
Why We Built Rewired
It started with a simple realization: we were spending 6+ hours a day on social media, and we hated it.
We tried everything. Screen time limits that we immediately bypassed. Grayscale mode that lasted a day. Deleting apps only to reinstall them hours later. We read books about digital minimalism and felt inspired—until we picked up our phones again.
The problem wasn't willpower. The problem was that we were fighting billion-dollar algorithms with nothing but good intentions. These apps were literally engineered by the smartest minds in tech to be as addictive as possible. We needed better tools.
So we built Rewired. Not another timer app. Not another productivity tool. A genuine intervention based on the same CBT techniques that therapists use for behavioral addictions, combined with Apple's Screen Time API for blocking that actually works.
Today, we're a small team with a big mission: help our generation break free from social media addiction and reclaim their time, attention, and mental health.
Our Mission
Help Gen Z take back control of their digital lives. Build technology that respects users instead of exploiting them. Prove that dopamine can be rewired. Make digital wellness accessible to everyone.
Our Values
These principles guide everything we build.
Privacy First
Your data stays on your device. No tracking, no selling, no compromise.
Science-Backed
Every feature is grounded in peer-reviewed research and proven techniques.
No Judgment
Addiction isn't a moral failure. We meet you where you are with compassion.
Sustainable Change
Quick fixes don't work. We focus on lasting transformation, not temporary hacks.
Transparency
We're honest about what works, what doesn't, and how we make money.
Community
Breaking addiction is easier together. We're building a movement, not just an app.
Our Journey
From frustration to solution.
The Breaking Point
After years of struggling with social media addiction themselves, our founders decided enough was enough. Existing solutions felt like band-aids—timer apps that were easy to bypass, motivational apps that didn't understand the psychology.
Research & Development
Deep dive into neuroscience, CBT techniques, and what actually works for behavioral addiction. Consulted with therapists, psychologists, and former social media employees. Built the foundation of what would become Rewired.
Launch
Rewired launches to the public. Our goal: help 1 million young people break free from social media addiction by 2027. This is just the beginning.
What's Next
Android support, family plans, school partnerships, and deeper integration with mental health resources. We're building the future of digital wellness.
