Screenfree is a smart new lamp that tells you when it’s time to take a break from your phone, laptop or tablet. By connecting to your WiFi, Screenfree measures how much time you and your family spend on social media. Then, when it’s time to be social in real life, it glows red to let you know.
Screenfree registers time people spend on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and SnapChat. When a person reaches their allocated daily limit of screen time, the light from the lamp changes from white to red, signalling that it’s time to stop.
The Screenfree lamp is just one of many tools offered by Skärmhjälpen.se (The Screenhelp) – a service that keeps track of your screen habits to help you maintain a healthy balance between life online and offline. The Swedish insurance company Länsförsäkringar, known for their work with social sustainability and digital health, is behind the initiative.
