Nearly 5 hours a day — today’s average — adds up to 2 full years every decade. SAGE is a screen-free wristband + app: a gentle tap as you near your daily limit, a calm pause when you cross it. A mentor on your wrist — never a cop.
The limit pops up as a notification — on the very screen you're hooked on.
Your thumb swipes it away before your brain even reads it. That's not a choice — it's a reflex.
The hour disappears. You feel bad. And tomorrow the exact same thing happens.
It was never a willpower problem. A warning that lives on the screen you're addicted to is part of the addiction. It's a design problem — and design problems can be fixed.
A tap on your wrist reaches you through a different channel than the one that's got you hooked. You can't doomscroll past your own body.
A light tap at 50%, a firmer one at 85%. You always see the line coming — SAGE never ambushes you at the finish.
Cross your limit and SAGE asks for one thing: a short pause before you scroll on. That tiny moment of friction breaks the autopilot loop — and puts you back in charge.
The tap doesn't quit when you ignore it — but it never turns angry either. No guilt screens, no "you failed." Just a steady hand on your wrist until you're ready.
Pick a daily number — or let SAGE quietly learn your real usage for two weeks and suggest one that's actually realistic.
The app tracks quietly in the background. A gentle tap at 50% and 85% keeps you aware — no dashboards to babysit.
Cross the line and the band taps until you open SAGE and take a short second-thought pause. Then the choice is yours — on purpose this time.
Hard blocks, guilt trips, "you failed" screens. You resent it, you fight it, and you delete it within two weeks. Punishment doesn't build a habit — it builds resistance.
SAGE warns you before you hit the wall, asks for a pause instead of locking you out, and celebrates your streak. It's calm, it's on your side — and that's why the habit actually sticks.
Small cuts, real payoff. Studies link lower daily screen time to better sleep, sharper focus, and improved mood. SAGE's adaptive limits shave minutes off each week — so an hour back per day sneaks up on you, without a single cold-turkey crash.
8:12 PM. You've hit your 2 hours.
SAGE taps your wrist — and waits with you.
Take a breath. Choose on purpose.
Thin, light, weeks of battery, USB-C. One tap is the only input. It sits quietly on your wrist and speaks up only when it should — like any good mentor. And because it has no screen, it can never become the thing it's saving you from.
No — that's the whole point. Apps put the warning on the same screen you're hooked on, so you swipe it away without thinking. SAGE moves the moment of choice onto your wrist: a physical tap you have to consciously stand down. Different channel, different outcome.
Never. SAGE is built on one rule: mentor, not cop. No guilt screens, no hard locks, no "you failed." It warns you early, asks for a pause when you cross the line, and celebrates your streaks. If a tool feels like punishment, you take it off in two weeks — so SAGE doesn't punish.
The opposite. SAGE stays silent until it matters — one light tap at 50%, one at 85%, and the steady nudge only if you cross your limit. No stream of alerts, no noise.
No. The core guidance works with the band you buy once. Premium (deeper insights, family, adaptive limits) is optional and never required for SAGE to do its job.
Mark them as work and they don't count against your limit. SAGE tracks them separately in a productivity view, so time spent on email or navigation is never held against you.
