About Us

Reclaiming Time, One Moment at a Time

In a world where our phones have become extensions of ourselves, we noticed something troubling. Hours were slipping away into endless scrolls, meaningful moments were being traded for quick dopamine hits, and the line between using technology and being used by it had blurred.

Virtue was born from a simple question: What if we could help people reclaim their time without feeling punished for it? What if breaking free from digital distractions could actually feel rewarding?

We are not anti-technology. We are pro-intention. We believe your phone should serve you, not the other way around. That is why we created Virtue: an app that does not just block distractions, but celebrates your commitment to being present by rewarding you for the time you reclaim.

Our journey began when we realised that traditional app blockers felt restrictive and punitive. They told you what you could not do, but never celebrated what you actually achieved.

We spent months researching behavioural psychology, talking to people struggling with phone addiction, and understanding what truly motivates lasting change. The answer was not in restrictions; it was in positive reinforcement and tangible rewards. That is when Virtue transformed from an idea into a mission.

Today, we are building more than just an app. We are cultivating a community of people who believe that time is our most precious resource, and that every moment of presence is worth celebrating.

Join us in building a healthier relationship with technology, where you are in control, your time is truly yours, and every step towards digital wellness is recognised.

Our Story
