Our Mission
We empower families to navigate technology with intentionality, grounding parents in their offline values and helping children develop attention and self-regulation. By fostering calm amidst the chaos, we support parents through reflection and introspection, guiding them through the emotional and psychological transitions of raising children in a tech-driven world.
Our approach
We focus on meaningful practices that foster lasting change, steering clear of quick fixes and superficial tips—because your family deserves lifelong impact.
Strengthening Parent-Child Connection
Investing in this relationship offline ensures your family stays connected and resilient in an ever-online world.
Prioritizing Offline Identity
When you know who you are offline, you’re more likely to engage in activities that bring positive emotions and foster a sense of purpose.
Rooted In Your Family Values
Making family decisions based on values rather than cultural norms ensures that technology enhances, rather than detracts, from family life
Flourishing offline, together
Grounded in deeper connection, families can build stronger bonds, enhance communication, and create a foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.

Matt Pulley, Co-Founder
Matt is a software engineer turned tech entrepreneur, but above all, a father.
After over 20 years building tech companies, he took time to be a stay-at-home dad. While taking a step back from the tech world, he realized that social media and other engagement-based technologies aren't working in the best interest of our youth — or that of their families.
His mission is to reshape how technology is built and deployed into society, supporting parents and families along the way.
