Tips for Getting Started

Person placing their phone in the Aro Home device and closing the lid

Find a high-traffic area

The Aro Home device was designed to be seen. Not just because it looks nice, but because a key to building a habit is having a visual cue. Find a high-traffic area where you will be reminded to use it.

Make Aro the one place you charge

The Home device can charge up to five phones at once with four charging cables and one wireless charger.  Ditch the chargers around the house and make Aro the one place you charge your phones.

Say "Let's Go Aro together"

Telling everyone to put their phones down can start an argument, but saying it is time to "Go Aro" takes some of the pressure off and makes it fun.

Set a goal

Whether it's a few minutes or a few hours a day, that time adds up. One hour away from your phone every day means 15 days of quality, uninterrupted time regained each year.  

Make it a fun competition

Kids love getting credit for time away from their phone and the gamified experience of Aro. Set up a family challenge to see who can log the most Aro time. Of course, you all win because the real prize is what happens when you put down your phones.

Lead by example

Simply using Aro will get those around you to do the same. The Aro app will notify others in your house when you put your phone in the Home device. It's a gentle nudge for them to do the same.

No phones in the bedroom overnight

We want Aro to fit into your household rhythms, but one thing we do believe is kids shouldn't have their phones in their bedrooms overnight. The Aro app gives them credit for that time and also gives you peace of mind.

No phone. No problem.

Young kids without phones love Aro too. By putting your phone in Aro, you are showing them you are in the moment, and you are also modeling good phone habits for their future. Pro tip: hand your phone to them and have them place it in Aro for you.
