Modern life
keeps us connected
but not to what truly matters.
We scroll, react,
compare, repeat
Did you know?
In biology, structure determines function.
The same goes for anything in our lives. Phones are constructed to keep us looking at them, and they do that marvelously (Jebelli, 2025).
Interactions held without the presence of a smartphone have been scientifically proven to contain more empathy, intimacy
and trust between people. This effect is even more significant between people with a close relationship (Misra et al., 2014).
The mere presence of a smartphone reduces cognitive capacity by 10%-20%, even if it’s off or tucked away (Ward et al., 2017).
“Winding down” by scrolling on your phone is like recovering from a hangover by drinking wine, it just doesn’t give the brain the rest it needs.
Steve Jobs famously said he doesn’t allow his children to use the iPad because it’s “too dangerous and addictive”.
We live in a constant
state of distraction
Our phones set our rhythms.
They wake us up, stimulate us, notify us and silently drain us.
We work harder,
but don’t feel productive
We feel connected,
but alone
We’re tired,
but can’t seem to unplug
There’s another way!
Zing gives you the ultimate tool for quality disconnection – Zinging!
Feel the freedom of being without your phone:
Quality time with
the people who matter
Time that restores,
not just fills
A mind that’s quiet,
not constantly catching up
Zing is built to
help you step away
not pull you in
It exists to make intentional disconnection part of your daily life,
complimenting detox retreats or cabins in nature.
We call that time away from your phone “Zinging”.
It’s like a version update – but for yourself, not your phone.
Zing Product
Sneak Peek
What gets measured gets protected.
The Zing App tracks the time you spend physically
away from your phone – Zing Time.
Through streaks, milestones and subtle nudges,
Zing is something you can see, grow and be proud of.
Because presence should be the default – not the exception.

Zing is more
than a product.
It’s a movement, a community, a mindset – of people
spending time away from their phones, on purpose.
