Screen time limits and app blockers treat the symptom. BeWithly treats the cause. Our platform combines the clinical effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with the motivational power of social accountability — the only combination research shows creates lasting behavioral change.
This isn't just about time.
The real cost of smartphone overuse is measured in something far more valuable.
Adults with 5+ hours of daily screen time are 2.8 times more likely to meet clinical criteria for depression.

88 million additional adults worldwide now meet thresholds for smartphone-linked insomnia versus pre-pandemic levels.
Research, 2026
58% of adults use their phones to cope with anxiety or stress — creating a cycle that makes anxiety worse, not better.
SQ Magazine, 2026
The average person checks their phone 186 times per day in 2026. Every check is a moment stolen from the people in the room.
SQ Magazine, 2026
68% of insomnia patients report phone use within 30 minutes of bedtime. The last thing we see shapes our dreams.
Sleep clinic data, 2026
84.6% of Americans check their phone within the first 10 minutes of waking. Before speaking to a partner. Before seeing their children.

It's not your fault.
The apps on your phone were not designed to serve you. They were designed to keep you.
"The thought process that went into building these applications was all about: 'How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?' We needed to give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while... It's a social validation feedback loop — exactly the kind of thing a hacker like myself would come up with, because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology."
Sean Parker didn't just admit this — he said the founders understood it consciously, and built it anyway. Instagram. TikTok. YouTube. Every pull-to-refresh. Every infinite scroll. Every notification sound. Engineered by some of the world's most talented engineers specifically to trigger your dopamine system and keep you coming back.
This is not a willpower problem. This is an engineering problem. And you've been fighting it alone, with tools that were never designed to win.
Why most solutions don't work
Screen Time Limits
Setting a 2-hour daily limit requires you to override your dopamine system using pure willpower. Every. Single. Day. Research shows willpower is a finite resource. The apps never get tired. You do.
App Blockers
Blocking Instagram just moves you to Twitter. Blocking Twitter moves you to YouTube. Blockers treat the symptom — the specific app — not the cause — the underlying behavioral pattern that makes you reach for your phone in the first place.
Productivity Apps
To-do lists, habit trackers, and focus timers assume the problem is personal discipline. But if the problem was discipline, everyone who downloaded a productivity app would have solved it by now. They haven't. Because that's not the problem.
BeWithly is different.
We don't fight your dopamine system. We redirect it. Instead of dopamine hits from a screen, you get dopamine hits from putting the phone down — from winning, from connection, from real-world presence. And we give you the CBT tools to understand why you reach for it in the first place.
A platform built for real behavioral change
Take your baseline
Complete the validated SAS-SV assessment to understand your current relationship with your smartphone. Your score is private, scientific, and the foundation of your personalized program.
Follow your CBT program
A 4-week curriculum designed by behavioral scientists. Each week unlocks progressively deeper content — trigger awareness, behavioral patterns, identity work, and long-term commitment. Scientifically paced. You cannot rush it.
Put the phone down. Together.
Create a focus room, invite your circle, and put your phones down simultaneously. First to touch theirs loses. Sessions build streaks, earn XP, and reinforce your CBT learnings in real behavior — not just theory.
Measure your change
Retake the SAS-SV assessment after 4 weeks. See your score improve. See the difference in your daily life. BeWithly is one of the only wellness platforms that measures its own effectiveness.

🇫🇷 Sophie M.
Marketing Manager, Paris
"I was picking up my phone 94 times a day without even noticing. Every family dinner ended with me half-present, half-scrolling. I felt ashamed but couldn't stop."
"My SAS-SV score dropped from 31 to 18. But more than numbers — my daughter told me last week that I'm 'finally actually here at dinner.' That hit differently."

BeWithly for Teams — Digital Wellness That Proves Its Value
Forward-thinking HR teams use BeWithly to improve employee focus, reduce digital burnout, and meet Right to Disconnect obligations across France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium. Our enterprise dashboard delivers anonymized, aggregated team wellbeing data — never individual surveillance.
One platform. Three powerful use cases.
Reconnect at home
Focus that actually works
Not another screen time blocker.
A behavioral change platform.
Blockers fail. CBT works.
Screen time limits create willpower battles you'll always lose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — the gold standard in behavioral psychology — helps you understand the triggers behind your phone use and permanently rewire those patterns. BeWithly is the only consumer platform to deliver CBT at scale.
Social accountability is the missing ingredient.
Stanford research shows people are 65% more likely to achieve a goal when they commit to another person. BeWithly makes your friends, family, and colleagues your accountability system — making focus social, competitive, and genuinely fun.
We measure what we claim.
BeWithly uses the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version (SAS-SV) — a validated tool used in peer-reviewed research worldwide. We establish your baseline on day one and measure your improvement at week 4. We don't just claim to work. We prove it.
