Step away from your phone, and into your life.

ONE

Put your phone away.

Start a saalo in the app, or let the box start one the moment the phone goes in.

TWO

Live your life.

Read. Cook. Play. Sleep. Go for a walk. Smell the roses.

THREE

Observe what changes.

Saalo counts the hours you were away, and shows what they did for your sleep, your focus and your stress.

Clearings

Windows you decide to be phone-free.

A clearing is a stretch of the day you set aside. Saalo reminds you when it starts and shows you whether you made it. Personalize clearings for the times that matter most to you.

the first hour
Morning, before the feed gets a vote on your day.
6:00 – 7:00 pm
Dinner, the table and the people at it.
the last hour
Before bed, pairs with your sleep score if you connect Oura.
until noon
Saturday morning, long, unstructured and yours.
Listen to your body

How does putting your phone away help your sleep?

Connect Oura to see how time away shows up in your sleep, your readiness and your stress.

Do I sleep better after more saalo?

An example month in two small charts that share the same days. Time away from the phone grows from about half an hour a day in the first week to about three hours a day in the fourth. The sleep score rises with it, from 71 to 86, and dips after the one day with very little time away. SLEEP SCORE 70 80 90 86 SAALO HOURS 1h 2h 3h WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 WEEK 4
