“I don’t want my kids constantly seeing me with my head down to be normal. Aro gives us an invitation to put our phones away and allows us to be more present with each other.”
Shelly McIntosh, Mom of 2
“Aro holds us accountable for the time that we spend every day. Instead of looking down at our phones, we’re looking into our kids’ eyes, we’re playing with them, and we’re shaping our family in a more loving and powerful way.”
Clay McInnis, Dad of 2
“We’ve always had our kids keep their devices outside in the living room before they go to bed, but now our daughter loves putting her phone in Aro at night so she gets credit for her time away.”
Erin Burkhalter, Mom of 2
Creates space from your phone
Unlike other solutions designed to reduce screen time, the Aro platform combines an app and a physical device to create distance between you and your phone so you can have quality time without the distraction of your phone.
Gives you credit for intentional time
We live in a gamified world - badges, streaks, achievements, and filling in that daily ring. Aro gives you credit for the time you spend engaged in real life because the reward builds the habit of putting down your phone.
Designed with families in mind
We’ve spent years researching, designing, and developing a solution to help both parents and kids. From a beautiful device Mom won’t hate on the kitchen counter to the celebratory GIFs in the app, Aro appeals to the whole family.
Aspirational, yet practical
No heavy handed approaches here. Getting rid of your phone or completely locking it away are not practical solutions. We need our phones...but maybe not at the dinner table or during a conversation. We designed Aro to fit in your everyday rhythms.
