Stay grounded while you live online.
Curbox is an open-source initiative against internet and social-media overconsumption.
The origin
Started by Nethical in April 2024, Curbox grew out of a simple observation: living a normal life today means being online, but being online shouldn't mean losing yourself to the feed. We build tools to help you stay focused and present.
Our mission
We build and distribute tools that curb screen time and digital addiction for people of all ages. As internet usage grows, staying connected to reality should not be a luxury.
Our founding principle is simple: software designed to reduce digital distraction must remain open and accessible to everyone so you can keep a balance between the virtual and the real.
Why use Curbox
- Extensive blocking capabilities with extreme granularity
- Open source (GPL v3)
- Privacy friendly
- Built by the community, for the community
How it works
Curbox uses Android's accessibility permissions to analyze your app-usage patterns and block apps based on your settings. And because the entire codebase is open source under the GPL v3, you can audit exactly how it works instead of taking anyone's word for it.
