A world where all screen time is time well spent

Technology is great. But only if we use it consciously. In recent years, this has become increasingly unbalanced. Social media apps and news sites have kept us glued to our devices for longer and longer, even when we didn't want to be.

Wellspent wants to change that. We never want to say 'I just wasted one hour on Instagram' again and feel bad about it. We want to put phone users back in the driver's seat. Our attention, our time, our choice of what to do with it.

We're here to make conscious phone use easy.

The BIG FuE project aims to develop an AI that analyzes users in real time and detects when they are engaging in unhealthy smartphone behaviors. At these moments, the AI will intervene and perform appropriate micro-exercises with the person to counteract the harmful behavior. Overall, the goal is to reduce the score of problematic smartphone use in the long term. Bad habits are to be replaced by good ones. For this purpose, the user is offered special courses with practical exercises from cognitive-behavioral therapy to train and reinforce positive habits.
