About Celery: Focus is a Team Sport
Celery makes staying off your phone social, fair, and actually fun.
Team up with friends, share a daily pool of screen time for your most distracting apps, and hold each other accountable—one unlock at a time.
=======================================
*** Stay off your phone, together ***
Pods are small groups of friends who agree to keep specific apps in check.
Create or join a pod, choose which apps or sites it controls—one app (like Instagram) or several (like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat)—and set a shared daily time limit.
→ Only one person per pod can have access to the distracting apps at a time
→ When someone uses time, it’s deducted from the pod’s shared daily allowance
→ When the pod runs out, nobody gets more time until tomorrow
You can be in multiple pods at once, each with different friends and different apps—study buddies, co-workers, roommates, partners, you name it.
To unlock your pod-controlled apps, you claim time from that pod.
→ Tap to claim 15 minutes
→ Briefly explain why you need access
→ Snap a quick photo to keep it honest and accountable
→ Your timer starts, and your distracting apps unlock for you
When your timer expires, those apps lock again automatically.
You can only have one active timer per pod, but you can have active timers in different pods at the same time.
=======================================
Why use Celery
→ Reduce mindless screen time
→ Build healthy phone habits with real accountability
→ Turn social pressure into a positive force
→ See your progress with simple, motivating analytics
→ Create a positive feedback loop with friends instead of doomscrolling alone
=======================================
Less scrolling. More laughing, talking, walking, reading, cooking, hugging, and living.
