The Mission

Our mission is to help people reclaim their time and improve their lives by fostering healthier morning routines. Leveraging my knowledge of technology, commitment to an active lifestyle, and desire to build something meaningful, Social Limits was created to make a positive impact on the world.

The Solution

I spoke to friends/family and quickly realised I wasn’t alone in this struggle. That’s when the idea of Social Limits was born. I envisioned a solution that would be more intentional in helping you break free from the grip of Social Media, something that would almost ‘force’ you to follow good habits.As they say consistency is key.

Social Limits is designed to block access to apps in the morning, requiring users to take steps—literally—to unlock them. By encouraging people to be active and engage with the world around them before diving into their digital lives, we aim to boost productivity, promote fitness, and address phone addiction.As they say consistency is key.

The Experiment

Determined to break this cycle, I decided to experiment with a new morning routine. Instead of reaching for my phone, I went for a walk, soaking in the early sunlight. The fresh air and light energized me, clearing my mind and setting a positive tone for the day. Unfortunately after a couple days I quickly went back into the cycle of doomscrolling in the early hours of the morning, this led me to think further.

The Research

Driven by curiosity and a desire for change, I dove into research. Scrolling through social media first thing in the morning was having a significant impact on my brain. The early-morning dopamine spike was setting the tone for my entire day, making me crave more dopamine hits and drawing me back to my phone repeatedly. This constant cycle was not only unproductive but also triggered my anxiety and stress.

The Wake-Up Call

It all started one typical morning. I found myself in bed, phone in hand, endlessly scrolling through social media. Minutes turned into hours, and by the time I finally looked up, half the day had vanished. The realisation hit me hard: I was wasting precious time on mindless scrolling. Frustrated and feeling unaccomplished, I knew something had to change.

From Mindless Scrolling to Morning Strolls: The Birth of Social Limits

Lino here, I want to share my personal journey that led me to build Social Limits, an app dedicated to helping people reclaim their time, boost their productivity, and enhance their mental health by breaking free from the clutches of social media addiction.
