the camera that
brings you back
to real life.
you didn't mean to give your phone the whole evening. spur is how you get back out: point it at wherever you are and it hands you two tiny things to go do instead. pick one, ten seconds, done.
spur isn't out yet. leave your email and it lands on your phone before the public. no spam.

when would you actually use it?
be honest, you know all three of these. ✦
stuck on your phone and you know it 😵
you picked it up for one quick thing and half the evening's gone. open spur and point the camera at whatever's around you: it hands you two small things to do back in real life, and doing one snaps you out of it.
about to give your phone a whole hour 🛋️
sometimes you just want to lie there and be on your phone, and that's allowed. tell spur how long you're giving it first, and when your time's up it comes and gets you, so one hour doesn't quietly become three. the clock's got its own bit further down ⏳
or the days you never put it down at all 👻
on those days you're not going to remember spur exists, so it pings you first: once a day, at a time you pick, it sends you one small move. that way every day gets at least one minute that isn't your phone.

spur deals you two. you get one.
tap one to rip it open · the other's gone 💨
3keep the receipt
every move you do prints a little receipt. stash it, bin it, show it off. proof you came back for a second. ✦
glass of water. actually drink it. 💧
stretch like the room owes you rent. 🙆
text the person you've been meaning to. one line. 💬
step outside for ninety seconds. that's it. 🌤️
the clock ⏳
you want an hour on your phone? that's allowed. tell spur how long, and it comes and gets you when it's up, so the hour doesn't quietly turn into three.
give yourself some time
tap a length. it has opinions. ✦
go on, pick something
pick a length first
it never locks anything
other apps just count your screen time and nag you about it. spur can actually see the place you're in (only when you point the camera at it), so instead of a lecture, you get something real to do. 🌶️
what happens to the photo 🔒
spur sends one photo, gets back a description of what's around you, and the photo is deleted straight after.

you're not broken, you were just stuck. next time, you'll have somewhere to point your phone. here's the deal. ✦
