Version 2 of the Spanish digital wellness platform arrives with built-in access to psychologists in over 60 languages and real-world experiences — because breaking a habit takes more than willpower.
For most of us, reaching for our phone has stopped being a choice. It's a reflex — a habit so deeply ingrained that it shapes how we manage our time, our attention, and increasingly, our sense of wellbeing. The average person unlocks their phone over 80 times a day. Most of the time, they're not sure why.
OFF was built for that moment of awareness — and everything that comes after. The Barcelona-based startup has launched Version 2 of its digital disconnection app, now active in more than 113 countries. The platform is free, and it's designed to help people build a more conscious, intentional relationship with their devices.
Disconnecting Doesn't Mean Switching Off
OFF starts from a simple but often overlooked premise: the problem isn't technology. It's the unconscious patterns we've built around it. The app doesn't push users toward digital abstinence or impose rigid restrictions. Instead, it creates the conditions for genuine change:
- Understanding your own digital habits through clear, honest data.
- Setting your own boundaries, progressively and on your own terms.
Through personalised usage controls and detailed analytics, users can see exactly how they engage with their devices — and start making decisions with intention rather than impulse.
Professional Support, One Tap Away
Version 2 integrates the services of It's Complicated, an international network connecting users to thousands of psychologists worldwide. Sessions are available in over 60 languages and bookable directly within the app — no referrals, no waiting lists, no barriers.
This matters because excessive phone use rarely exists in a vacuum. It's often intertwined with deeper patterns of:
- Anxiety and difficulty managing stress.
- Loneliness and the need for constant stimulation.
- Avoidance and difficulty being present.
Real Life as the Alternative
Telling someone to spend less time on their phone only works if there's something worth doing instead. That's why OFF has partnered with Fever, the global live entertainment platform, to surface events and real-world experiences directly within the app.
Users can discover concerts, exhibitions, outdoor activities, and local experiences happening near them — turning the impulse to scroll into an invitation to step outside. Reducing screen time isn't about subtraction. It's about rediscovering what you actually want to do with your time.
Free, Because Disconnecting Shouldn't Be a Luxury
The most effective digital wellness tools have historically come with a price tag. OFF's founders made a deliberate choice from day one: the app is free, and will remain so. Whether you're in Spain, Morocco, Italy, or the United States, access to tools that help you reclaim your attention should not depend on your income.
Currently active in markets across Europe, North Africa, and the Americas, OFF is targeting 100,000 users by the end of 2026. Future updates will introduce AI-powered personalisation, enabling the app to learn individual usage patterns and offer smarter, more tailored guidance.
Because life — the kind that actually fills you up — happens beyond the screen.
