Why we built this
The average person spends 7 hours a day on their phone.
We built AVEO because we watched ourselves and our friends lose hours every day to apps designed to keep us scrolling. We realised the problem was bigger than willpower. We are constantly surrounded by products built to capture as much of our attention as possible, and every extra minute we give them is a minute we do not get back. Those minutes add up. Over a lifetime, they can become years spent staring at a screen instead of actually living. We wanted to build something that helped people take that time back.

The problem
The problem AVEO is trying to address is not simply screen time. Most people already know they spend too much time on their phones. The real difficulty is actually changing that behaviour. Phones and social media are deliberately designed to keep our attention, so knowing you should stop does not always make stopping easy. AVEO is built around closing that gap between wanting to change and actually doing it.
Our response
AVEO makes that change visible and measurable. It tracks the time you spend away from your phone and turns it into something you can actually see through your sessions, your progress and your streaks. Instead of making people feel guilty about their screen time, the idea is to give them evidence that they are improving. Over time, those individual sessions become a habit and that habit becomes genuine progress.
The community
But we also think changing a habit is much easier when you are not doing it alone. That is where the social side of AVEO comes in. You can see your friends making progress, encourage each other and become part of communities with people working towards the same thing. It creates accountability, but in a positive way. The goal is to make spending less time on your phone feel like something people are doing together rather than something you have to struggle with by yourself.
