Need a break from your phone?

Us too, that’s why we’ve created the SoCo Phone Challenge.

SoCo is an Android & iOS app which allows you to set a challenge for you and your friends

  1. Pick a 1, 2 or 4 week challenge

  2. Choose what apps & websites you want to spend less time on

  3. Set a goal for how much time you want to free up

  4. Share the challenge with friends, they each pick their own limits and goal for the duration of the challenge

“I’m always struggling with my phone use. Staying up late, doomscrolling, sneaking a look any spare minute. I knew that lots of us were also struggling so I reached out to some friends and came up with the SoCo phone challenge.

We want something simple, fairly priced and that makes a difference.

Change is hard but together we can make it.

How it works

  • Step 1

    Download the app and start with a 1, 2 or 4 week challenge

    option to select 1, 2 or 4 week challenge

  • Step 2

    Choose your setup

    Always allow the essentials like banking, messaging, alarms etc

    Limit time access to certain categories e.g. Social Media, Gaming Shopping

    Block categories like Advertising or Gambling

  • Step 3

    Set a goal

    Choose how much time you want to save. Once your time is up you’re blocked until tomorrow.

  • Step 4

    Share the challenge with friends.
