The research

What the research says.

What researchers found when people cut back. None of these studies tested Blocker.

Well-being
91%

improved in mental health, well-being or attention after two weeks without mobile internet.1

Mood
10 min

a day on each social app, for three weeks, left people less lonely and less depressed.2

Mood
1 hour

less on the phone each day, for one week, lowered anxiety and depression. The benefits lasted four months.3

Sleep
Lights out

Screens before bed meant falling asleep later, delayed melatonin, and groggier mornings.4
