About Minded: Break Free from Phone Addiction

We're building a calmer internet. Learn more about Minded and our mission.

Hi, I'm Johannes.

I'm a web developer based in Berlin and the creator of Minded (and Super Productivity).

I built Minded because I found myself constantly falling into the trap of "just checking" my phone or browser, only to lose 30 minutes to a feed I didn't care about.

I wanted a tool that wasn't just a blocker, but a reminder. A digital nudge to ask: "Is this what you want to be doing right now?"

Our Principles

1

Attention is your most valuable resource.

Social media platforms are engineered to capture and monetize your attention. We build tools to help you defend it.

2

Friction can be good.

Mindless scrolling happens when access is too easy. We introduce gentle friction—a pause, a breath, a question—to help you make a conscious choice.

3

Data belongs to you.

Your mood, your reflections, and your habits are private. Minded operates offline-first and doesn't sell your data.

4

Technology should serve life, not replace it.

Our goal isn't to keep you in our app. It's to help you get off your screen and back to the real world.
