Mindful Smartphone Detox Device Encourages Healthier Habits and a Balanced Digital Life - Yanko Design
Briefly

Digital fatigue is a prevalent concern with mounting evidence pointing to smartphone addiction, notably in Korea. MUTO emerges as a sophisticated device that not only acts as a ‘lockbox’ for smartphones but integrates essential functions like emergency calls and white noise. Its intelligent design encourages mindful disconnection while allowing selective access to certain features, thus offering a personalized detox experience. The customizable app enhances the user experience, promoting a balanced relationship with technology by visually displaying detox progress, ultimately providing an effective solution to the pervasive issue of digital overwhelm.
In an age where our thumbs scroll an average of 13.3 meters per day and our minds are bombarded with algorithm-driven content, digital fatigue is no longer a fringe concern, it's a mainstream struggle.
MUTO is a thoughtfully designed interactive device that enables users to maintain essential smartphone functions while encouraging mindful disconnection.
MUTO uses selective engagement through its app, allowing users to define detox parameters, creating a calming visual cue through detox progress.
Unlike existing detox devices that rely on harsh lockout methods, MUTO offers a more intuitive and accessible solution for smartphone detoxing.
