Helm

Helm is a premium digital wellness tool and focus app blocker that helps you transform digital distraction into intentional direction. This innovative productivity device for mindful technology use lets you activate a distraction-free mode by simply tapping your phone to it.

See the science behind Helm here.

As a screen time management solution, Helm helps you reclaim an average of 2+ hours daily by creating physical boundaries around your digital habits. This digital minimalism approach redirects time from mindless scrolling toward meaningful activities and deep work.

Yes! This phone addiction solution addresses the root cause of compulsive phone use by creating a physical barrier that's harder to override than willpower alone. The device transforms your relationship with technology from reactive to intentional.

Absolutely. Helm provides the external structure that neurodivergent brains often need, bypassing executive function challenges through simple physical triggers that don't rely on remembering to use a traditional focus app blocker.

Software alone is too easy to circumvent. Helm is a physical commitment device that creates real friction when your willpower is lowest. Imagine trying to unblock distracting apps when the Helm is in your kitchen and you're in your bedroom, or sitting in your car when the device is at home. That physical distance becomes a powerful barrier.

Unlike digital blockers that can be switched off with a tap, Helm creates a tangible obstacle to mindless scrolling. The device serves as a constant, immovable reminder of your commitment to focus. Physical triggers create 32% stronger habits than digital solutions because they engage you in a tactile, intentional ritual that apps alone can't replicate.

Helm isn't just a blocker—it's a physical manifestation of your commitment to living more intentionally

This screen time management device requires a phone with NFC (Near Field Communication) capability. This includes iPhone 12 and newer, and most Android devices from 2018 onward.

Yes, you'll need to download the Helm companion app (available on iOS and Android). The app is where you customize what gets blocked, set intentions, and track your focus analytics.

Yes! Your Helm purchase includes lifetime access to the app (with no subscription). Unlike other focus tools, there are no monthly fees or subscriptions—ever.

Helm uses NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. When you tap your phone to Helm, it instantly activates whichever mode you’re in and either allows or blocks your chosen apps.

Instead of accessing the blocked content, you'll see helpful redirects like progress toward your intentions, mindfulness prompts, or suggested alternative activities.

Helm features a premium brass base with a black silicone top. It's substantial (140g), designed to last a lifetime, and magnetic base so it sticks to any metal surface.

Yes, you can have multiple devices tied to your same account. Common setups could include:
* One device at work and another at home
* A backup device for emergencies
* Multiple locations for comprehensive tracking

Yes! Helm supports sharing between two users on the same device.Here's how it works:For the Primary User (Device Owner):

• Simply add the second person's email address in your Helm app settings.
• You maintain full control of the device and can remove access anytime.
• Your data stays completely private - they can't see your focus sessions, app choices, or usage patterns.

For the Secondary User:

• They'll receive an invitation to download the Helm app and create their account.
• Once set up, they can tap the same Helm device to activate their own focus modes.
• They get the full Helm experience with their own custom app blocking, intentions, and analytics.
• Their data is completely separate and private from the primary user.

Perfect for:

• Couples sharing a home workspace.
• Roommates who both want to improve focus.
• Partners supporting each other's digital wellness goals.

Important Notes:

• Only two users can share one Helm device. Will consider ability to add further users in future.
• Each user maintains complete privacy - no shared data or settings.
• The primary user controls who has access and can revoke sharing privileges.
• Both users need phones with NFC capability.

This makes Helm a great investment for households where multiple people want to transform their relationship with technology, without needing to purchase separate devices.

Pre-orders will ship starting July 1st on a first-come, first-served basis. If you order Helm with another product that's currently in stock, your entire order will ship together when Helm becomes available.

We prioritize your privacy completely. While Helm displays your personal analytics within the app, **we have zero access to your data**. Your focus patterns, app usage, and personal information stay entirely on your device.
