Description
Your conscious pause before the algorithm pulls you in.
Have you tried to cut your screen time, only to fall right back into the same apps again? No hard blocks. No frustrating lockouts.
Amba solves the problem at its root: not by banning social media, but by helping you choose when you want to use it.
How Amba Works
With the Amba Tag, a small keychain, your social media apps only unlock when you tap the tag intentionally. No tag = no social apps. This creates a short pause and breaks the automatic "I opened Instagram without even thinking." Fewer impulses. More awareness. One simple motion that puts you back in control every single time.
Why Amba Works
Studies show that even tiny hurdles can dramatically reduce impulsive app usage. Amba uses exactly that - paired with a physical, everyday ritual. You interrupt the habit loop right at the moment your brain normally goes on autopilot.
- No "reset" tricks
- No complicated rules
Just a clear moment to breathe before you slip into the app.
Perfect for you if you…
- scroll "just for a second" and lose 20 minutes
- end up on TikTok for hours in the evening
- want to use social media intentionally, not endlessly
- want more focus, calmness, and mental clarity
- want to work more productively and reduce impulsive checking
More focus. Fewer dopamine Traps. Amba creates space for real concentration. And if you finish earlier than planned, you can end your session right away - flexible, with zero penalties.
Built for iPhone. Easy to set up.
- Connect your NFC tag in seconds
- Select the apps you want to protect
- Done - from now on, you decide the moment
