Invite friends
You start a group challenge together and record short videos for each other.
Coming soon to Android
A video from someone who loves you. Right at the moment you're about to scroll.
joice blocks nothing. When you open an app you want to be more mindful with, joice first shows you a message from your friends – and then you decide.

pause for how long?
How joice works

Choose apps
You decide where joice may interrupt you.
-
Decide consciously
Your friend's video appears. Continue or pause — your choice.
Love, not locks
Locks create resistance. That's why joice doesn't lock anything — it asks. The moment you open an app usually happens automatically, without you really thinking about it. joice turns exactly that moment back into a decision: before the app opens, you briefly see a message from someone who loves you.
joice doesn't lock. It asks.
If you want to take some time, joice doesn't offer bans — it offers pauses: 10, 30, or 90 minutes, or you can skip today entirely. Your group sees this, along with your reason.
Your videos belong to your friends and you. Hosted in the EU.
