How does myndr work?
Myndr consists of a wall mounted switch and WiFi router you connect to your own router. By turning your myndr switch, you inform your spiffy new wifi router what type of Internet is welcome. You create your own ‘door policy’ and control the access you allow digital products and services to your family’s attention.
myndr is on a mission to help everyone regain their focus. Because every person deserves a healthy relationship with digital technology. And everyone’s attention is worth protecting. Especially our children’s.
A quote from a big fan
"Increasingly, more and more adults and children are looking for balance in their use of digital resources. That starts with a discussion on our digital behaviors. At home, at school and at work. That is not easy.
It is precisely a concrete instrument such as myndr that gives everyone the opportunity to develop a different digital behavior."
