Kevin Holesh, the app’s creator, admitted being addicted himself to his iPhone so much, it was ruining his relationship with his girlfriend. Kevin, a iOS developer himself,l decided to build Moment to promote a healthier balance. In fact, the point “isn’t to get you to put down your phone forever and go live in the woods,” but to become fully aware of your digital habits in the hope of eventually being able to change them. The app, designed to be invisible, only needs to be set up the first time, then it will just run in the background, alerting you as to when you’re going over your daily limits.
And there's more... with Moment Family, you can monitor all of your family's screen time too and set a daily limit. Reclaim meal times by setting a screen-free time too. Each time a persons picks up their device during a meal, an alert will ping and everyone will hear it.
