Philosophy

our philosophy

what nomp stands for: intentional phone use, no shame, no judgment, and the belief that change is always easier with other people.

  • we're all in this together

    most of us are navigating the same tension between loving our phones and wishing we used them a little less, and wondering how we got here.

  • technology is genuinely brilliant

    the goal was never to use our phones less for the sake of it. it's to use them in a way that feels intentional rather than automatic.

  • shame doesn't work

    labelling people as addicted or lacking willpower has never helped anyone change. we're not interested in that conversation.

  • don't judge

    respect people's privacy.

  • balance looks different for everyone

    there's no universal answer to what a healthy relationship with your phone looks like. we want to help you find yours.

  • change is easier together

    it always has been and hopefully always will be.

  • listen to the people who've done the work

    there are brilliant researchers, writers and thinkers who've spent years studying this stuff. you can find some of them in our experts section.

  • no phones in bedrooms

    keep 'em in the kitchen.

  • live life

    get outside and have fun.
