About us
Studying has always been hard for me. Focusing for even an hour without checking my phone started to feel impossible. But it wasn’t just affecting my studying. My phone was pulling me away from my everyday life and the things I actually wanted to do, because scrolling always felt easier in the moment.
That’s why I created lizlo.
Committing to a focus session made it easier to stick with my decision, even when I felt like quitting. Staying locked in the app helped me follow through on the choice I made before the urge to check my phone showed up, until I finished what I set out to do.
Pomodoro timers never worked for me.
I could still access my phone, end the timer, and go straight back to social media. The decision I made before starting kept losing to the urge that came later.
Finding other alternatives was difficult because most of the ones I found were behind a paywall.
But why should we have to pay for help escaping apps that are free to keep distracting us?
My mission at lizlo is to keep it free forever.
Getting help putting your phone down shouldn’t cost money. Getting back to the things you meant to do shouldn’t cost money.
If you’d like to join me in that mission, here’s how you can help:
