why we built kip

We are more connected than ever before. But far less present.

2,617

The average person touches their phone 2,617 every day.

That is almost a million times per year.
73

The average person spends 73 days on their phone every year.

This is the equivalent of spending over two entire months every year staring at a screen, 24/7, without sleep.
23

It takes 23 minutes to regain focus when interrupted by a notification.

That's how long it will take you to return to your original task with the same level of deep focus.
what is kip

The off-switch to your digital world

The kip tag is a small, physical, intentional boundary for your phone.

Paired with the kip app, it allows you to instantly block the apps that steal your attention - socials, work, or news - leaving only what you actually need. No loopholes, no subscription, no complex settings.

Just one tap to protect your space and reclaim your time.

How it works

Reclaim your time in 3 simple steps

Set it up once. Tap whenever you need to be here, not there.

Choose what to block
1

Choose what to block

Download the kip app and pick the apps you want to pause. Build modes that fit your life. Sleep that only keeps your alarm. Gym that keeps your music and workout. Work that silences social media.

Give it a home

Give it a home

Place your kip tag somewhere you'll pass without thinking. The fridge. By the front door. In your work bag. A fixed spot makes the habit stick. Block what gets in the way, keep what you need.

Tap to disconnect

Tap to disconnect

When you're ready to focused, be present and be intentional, tap your phone to the tag. The apps you chose, go quiet. Tap again when you're done. That's it.

You'll see this on the gram. We thought we'd put it here too, where it might do more good.

Time

The hours you didn't realise you'd lost. Reclaimed.

With the people who matter, in the moments that count.

Clearer head. Deeper work. Fewer interruptions.

Calm

Less noise. More space. Quieter inside.

Connection

With other people. With yourself.

When kip works

Protect the moments that matter most.

kip turns your phone into what you need it to be for the moment you're in. The apps that pull you out of it go quiet. Everything else stays.

The first hour of the day.

The first hour of the day.

Tap your kip tag the moment you wake. The inbox, the news feeds, the social scroll all go quiet. Calls, alarms, anything you actually need still come through. The hour is yours.

FAQs

If you've got a question that's not answered here, drop us an email at hello@kip.life

Personal Why a physical tag? Why not just an app?

Because most digital tools are still digital.

You can ignore a notification. You can override a screen time limit. But a physical tag changes the pattern. It makes the decision feel real.

Tap to disconnect. Step into a new routine.

Personal What does the kip tag actually do?

When you tap your phone to the tag, it activates a mode in the kip app that blocks the apps you choose. Socials, news, messages… or anything else you need a break from.

Whether it’s during your working day or nighttime wind down, that tap becomes your gentle cue to switch off, slow down, or focus.

And the only way to get them back is by physically tapping the tag again.

Personal Can I customise what get's blocked?

Yes. You can set up custom modes in the app, like ‘Wind Down’, ‘Deep Work’, or ‘Gym’.

Each mode can block a different set of apps, depending on your needs.

Personal Can one tag work with more than one phone?

Yes.

There’s no limit - one tag can be shared across multiple phones, and one phone can connect to multiple tags.

Home, office, gym? Go for it.

Personal Do you see what apps I block?

We don’t store or track anything you block. That stays between you and your phone.

Personal How do I set my kip tag up?
  1. Download the kip app
  2. Follow the quick setup flow
  3. Create a mode and what apps to block
  4. Tap disconnect and then tap the tag and those chosen apps are blocked

Personal What if I lose my tag?

Accidents happen - so we offer five Emergency Reconnects in the app that will automatically unblock all apps.

Personal Can I disconnect without my tag?

Yes. Hold down the disconnec button for a few seconds, watch the orb move up and when the colour changes you are disconnected.

But remember, to reconnect, you must tap your kip tag.

Are you ready?

To reclaim your time from your phone.

A single tap silences the apps that pull you away. Your phone becomes a tool again, not a habit.
