The Off Switch for ADHD

Physical Boundaries That Actually Work


A physical device that creates real boundaries between you and your apps.

Unlike smartphone Focus modes that you can easily override (we've all been there), The Off Switch requires a physical tap to re-engage your apps and notifications. That extra step makes all the difference for ADHD brains.


The Off Switch combines smart tech with simple physical action.
This tangible interaction helps reinforce boundaries in a way that's harder to ignore or override, making it more effective for truly switching off.

 

  • Physical tap required: Can't just swipe away or dismiss

  • Habit-forming interaction: Creates muscle memory for boundaries

  • Harder to bypass: The physical barrier helps when willpower runs low

Why Physical Actions Matter for ADHD

  • You're in control: Only you decide which apps get muted

  • No surveillance: No data is held or collected

  • Voluntary tool: Works with your choices, not against them

  • Customisable lists: Different settings for different times

  • No monthly fees: Core features are free forever

The Science Behind Physical Boundaries

ADHD brains often struggle with impulse control and automatic behaviours. By adding a physical step between thought and action, The Off Switch creates what psychologists call a "friction point" that gives your executive function time to engage.

It's not about restriction; it's about creating space for intentional choices. The physical tap becomes a mindful moment where you actively decide to re-engage with technology, rather than doing it unconsciously.
