Why I made Blok
I built Blok because I felt like my time was being stolen by algorithms that make me behave like a rat on cocaine. I've basically been giving away valuable time to tech companies for free. And what do i get in return? A fried dopamine system and a stiff neck?
I've always been very interested in how tech manipulates behavior. A decade ago, I used to dream of a career at Facebook or Instagram, helping create the exact algorithms that would make me feel like shit later in life.
I became increasingly more compulsive in my own behavior with my phone a few years ago, and I think many people have experienced the same thing. The algorithms became better att roping me in with more and more emotionally charged content.
I tried everything—dumb phones, app blockers, hiding my phone in another room. Nothing worked. Even when I needed my phone for something real, I'd end up giving my brain a hit of dopamine instead.
So I built Blok. It's a physical lockbox I can leave my unwanted apps in. It helps me keep the useful parts of my phone, without the distractions. Now it can help you too.
