Embracing Presence

Redefining focus, helping you disconnect from screens and reconnect with the world.

ECLYPSE was designed to help users appreciate the life's special moments that often go unnoticed due to constant distractions, such as social media. By reducing screen time and the time spent on applications, the app aims to foster a better connection between a user and their environments, promoting healthier and more sustainable habits.

A professors take:

"All we care about is whatever is going on between me and another person. Any medium that enriches that is successful. Any medium that replaces that is a failure."

Breaking the Cycle

Utilizing Apple's very own frameworks such as Core Motion & HealthKit, ECLYPSE learns of a users routine and builds itself around it. Seamlessly.

Underlying Modern Issues

Attention spans on the decline

In the year 2000, the average attention span was 12 seconds.

As of 2023, the average attention span is now 8.25 seconds.

That's lower than a goldfish..

"Social media reinforces us to be distracted and have short attention spans by limiting the length of content that we can post"

Throughout day and night

ECLYPSE knows your routines and builds with it, ensuring you're on top of your work

Social Media Detection

When spending more time than necessary on social media, ECLYPSE will detect and notify the user of this. At times, reminding them of their goals and how this compares to that. Other times it will playfully tell them of their lowering attention spans.

This behavior has been shown to contribute to lowering screen time amongst users and increasing engagement within the environments around them.

Milestone Victories

ECLYPSE provide users with encouraging alerts when they reach specific focus or productivity milestones.

The feature motivates users to maintain their progress by celebrating the small wins, while subtly encouraging them to stay consistent in their efforts for the long run. These milestones are also customizable, such as the tone of the messages and frequency throughout the day.

"Social media can expose users to hundreds or even thousands of images and photos every day--which we know leads to an internalization of beauty ideals that are unattainable for almost everyone, resulting in greater dissatisfaction with body weight and shape."

An app that eclipses distractions.

Tailored Notifications

Rather than pushing regimes and plans onto a user, ECLYPSE learns about it's user and eases new routines seamlessly into what's already been built upon.

Tried & True

The approach that ECLYPSE takes is one that's been proven to not only increase engagement with it's user, but restores balance with them as well.

A Day in Three Parts

ECLYPSE works in patterns of three: Morning, Midday, Evening.

It learns of your habits throughout each of these three phases of your daily life and will develop a routine to get you going, without the distractions.
