Favorite Products & Discounts

Here are some of my favorite apps and products that can help you create better screen/life balance — plus some discount codes!

• Opal: An app blocker that makes it very easy to set up schedules for yourself and choose different types of focus blocks (e.g. reading time, family time).

  • Use this link to get 20% off a yearly Opal Pro plan (on iOS)

• Freedom: An app- and website-blocker that works across devices (meaning that you can’t block an app on your computer and then cheat and look at your phone!).

  • Use code PHONEBREAKUP40 for 40% off

• Brick: A little gadget that allows you to block everything on your phone except for the apps you want — a great way to transform your phone from a temptation to a Swiss army knife-like tool.

  • Use code SCREENLIFEBALANCE10 for 10% off

• Dumbwireless: A modern store for non-smartphones

  • Use code SCREENLIFEBALANCE for 5% off

• Canopy: A digital filter that inspects images, videos and websites before they appear on a device and blocks any inappropriate and explicit content to help keep kids safer online.

  • Use code SCREENLIFEBALANCE for 20% off (Note: This code works on purchases made on the website, not in the app store)

We’ll be adding more discount codes over the course of the month.

Also, if you’re interested in going deeper (and learning more about WHY we’re doing some of the things we’re doing), you may want to consider ordering a copy of How to Break Up With Your Phone, the book on which this Phone Breakup is based.

I also have a book for kids, The Amazing Generation (co-authored with Jonathan Haidt) and a follow-up book about fun!
