Use cases

In practice

Who is Mirror for?

For anyone who wants to be truly present more often: with friends, at the table, after work. Mirror isn't an app that tests your willpower; it's an object in your home. One tap and the apps you choose are gone for a while, until you deliberately tap again.

For those who are always on

Be with your friends, not your feed

That one video before bed turns into an hour, and ten minutes into dinner with friends everyone is looking at a screen. Nobody decides that; it just happens. Mirror puts a threshold in that moment: tap your phone to Mirror and the apps you choose stay closed until you tap again.

  • You choose which apps go away for a while, from TikTok to your group chats
  • Tap when you get home or before bed, and your evening is yours again
  • No limit you can dismiss in two seconds: going back takes a deliberate tap

For a calm start to your day

Start your day with yourself, not with your notifications

Your alarm goes off, and before you're properly awake you've already seen your email, the news and three apps. Set your alarm in the Mirror app and put Mirror away from your bed: you switch it off by tapping your phone against Mirror. So you're up before the first feed gets hold of you.

  • Set your alarm in the Mirror app, with your own days and sound
  • You switch it off with a tap on Mirror, out of reach of your bed
  • Tap once more after getting up and your apps stay closed until you're ready for the day

For work and study

Home at 6 pm, and truly present

Being home isn't the same as coming home. One notification at 9:40 pm and your head is back at the office. Mirror marks the end of your workday with a single tap: work email, Slack and Teams close until tomorrow. And during the day, when you want to finish a report or a thesis, you do the same with everything that pulls your attention away.

  • One tap when you get home: your work apps stay closed until the next morning
  • A block without social during the day, for work or study
  • Need a short break? Afterwards your apps close again on their own

For runners and gym-goers

Your phone comes along for the music, not for the feed

You go for a run or to the gym, and between two sets you check Instagram anyway. Tap Mirror on your way out: your music and workout apps stay open, social and messages wait until you're back. A tap at home opens them again.

  • You choose what stays open: your music, your running or workout app
  • No checking between sets, because social and messages are closed
  • Back home, you tap again and everything is ready for you

For parents and families

Be there when they tell you about their day

Your child is telling you about her day at the table, and you're reading just one more email. Everyone knows the feeling; nobody wants it. Put Mirror in the hallway or kitchen and tap when you get home: the apps you choose wait until later, and the evening belongs to the family.

  • One fixed spot at home: tap when you get in, tap again once the kids are asleep
  • Everyone at home with an iPhone can use the same Mirror
  • Your kids see that your phone can be put away too

For employers and teams

A corporate gift that means something

Employees checking their email one last time in the evening, and meetings where everyone is half looking at a screen. Mirror gives your team its own way to separate work and home, without you having to monitor anything: everyone chooses which apps close.

  • With your logo from 50 pieces; we handle production, invoicing and delivery
  • Mirror shares nothing with the employer: it stays with the employee
  • Fits a holiday gift, onboarding or the end of a busy project
