How ReCover Works

The ReCover helps you live with clear intentions

Visual Reminder

Place the ReCover on your phone screen.

 

Every time you reach for your phone, ReCover reminds you to set an intention.

Physical Barrier

If you decide to use your phone, remove ReCover from the screen and place it on the back of your phone.

Based on cognitive science: rational override theory

We constantly check our phones as an habit, even without notifications.

 

ReCover acts as a physical and psychological cue that disrupts the endless phone-checking cycle.

 

When reaching for the phone, ReCover creates a moment of pause. It triggers the rational thinking process and overrides our automatic response system.

The Process

Switch the Auto-Pilot Off

Do you reach for your phone without even thinking about it?

This automated habit, conditioned over time can feel impossible to break. 

 

The good news is that such behaviour can be reversed. 

 

With ReCover you can “unlearn” checking your phone “just because.” 

 

Start your journey to reclaim your attention and break free from the autopilot mode today.

ReCover should be on your phone "by default"

Repeated behaviour turns into habit.

 

ReCover helps you develop the habit of reflecting on your intentions before using your phone. It’s a conscious decision-making process.

 

If you decide to use your phone, take the ReCover off from the screen  and conveniently place it on the back of your phone.

SHop

Our attention is precious

Be careful where you spend it

  • The ReCover creates a physical barrier.
  • It gives you will extra Mind Time to better decide who you gift your attention.
  • Notifications will also be covered.
  • You can still see the time and date.

Place your phone inside the ReCover Bag for "Extra Free Phone Time"

You can use this option to studying, working, spending time with your family and friends or just to make a proper dopamine detox process (dopamine fasting).

Pro Tip: You can place more than one phone in the bag!

Every time you get the urge to enter your phone, ReCover reminds you to first set a clear intention on what you want to achieve while using your phone. 

 

Ask yourself questions like:


  • Is it really necessary to check my phone now?
  • Why do I want to check my phone now?
  • What am I going to do once I unlock it?
  • Does it help me now?

If there is no (good) intention, then leave ReCover on and use your time in a more meaningful way. 

 

If you decide to remove the ReCover to use your phone, you know it’s the result of a conscious choice. Then you can take the ReCover off and place it on the back of your phone. 

Care for your loved ones

Make a statement

Place the ReCover on your phone to show other people that they matter to you more than your phone.

 

Show them that you care for them, that they deserve your undivided attention.

 

Raise awareness on the problem.

Your Accountability Partner.
Anywhere, any time.

ReCover is like a friend who is always with you, gently reminding you to consider your intentions anytime, anywhere.

It acts as a speedbump, prompting you to slow down and reflect on what you truly want to do.

By holding you accountable, ReCover helps you break free from automatic behaviors and make more mindful choices.

Works best in combination with

  • Turning off all your notifications.
  • Setting time limits.
  • Apps or in built-in phone applications.
  • Setting the phone to grey-scale.

ReCover's Design

ReCover is a light but sturdy, portable cover with two grips on the sides to hold on to your smartphone case. 


If you don’t use a case, you can also place the ReCover directly on your phone.


The ReCover does not cover the entire screen out of a practical nature.


First: When you put the ReCover on the back of your phone, it will not block your camera. 


Second: You are still able to see the time on your phone. 

*ReCover does not work on flip phones

Intervening our brain process

The reason why we are so attached to our smartphones is because they serve the desires of the human brain: novelty, excitement, and social connections. 

 

Our interactions with the smartphone, receiving push notifications, likes and views, trigger the release of dopamine. This neurotransmitter is responsible for the pleasurable feelings of reward, which motivate us to repeat our behaviours. 

 

Because it is so easy for us and because our brains are so conditioned to constantly receive these addictive feelings of reward, it is essential to target the root cause and to stop this brain process before we enter our phone. The good news is, we can unlearn this automatic, impulsive behaviour and create new, healthier habits. 

 

If you are aware of your behaviour and are willing to fight for a positive change, ReCover is for you. 

 

ReCover is the first solution of this kind because it acts as a physical boundary that intervenes before you even unlock the phone.
