Our Story

Without noticing, the phone was already in our hands. Endless scrolling. No satisfaction, time just melted away and we felt our days getting shorter. As it turns out, we were not alone. In the Netherlands, more than 60% of smartphone users feel they are spending too much time on their device.

So we tried to fix it. Screen time limits, gray mode, deleting apps. But nothing really worked for us. That's why we built DropIt: a tag that creates a real barrier between you and the addictive apps. You simply select the apps and scan the DropIt tag to block and unblock them. An actual solution that worked for us.
