Description
With Aro, you and your family will spend less time on your phones and reclaim time for the things that matter most.
Rather than block or limit screen time, Aro develops the habit of physically putting your phone down when you want to focus, engage, connect, or simply be present.
WHY ARO?
→ Proven to Work
Aro users average over 2 hours away from their phones every day and more than 9 hours when using Aro at night for restful sleep.
→ Effective Approach
App blockers and screen-time limits are easily ignored, and digital detoxes and locking up your phone aren’t practical solutions for most of us, especially parents who are managing their families and working. The most effective, and healthiest, way to reduce screen time is to learn to use our smartphones as tools.
→ Parent-first Approach
We tend to think of phone addiction and social media as problems for kids, and they are, but they are also struggles for parents. Aro allows parents to be participants in the solution rather than just enforcers of screen time limits.
HOW IT WORKS
→ The App
Habit-forming app that encourages and motivates you to spend less time glued to your screen and more time enjoying life’s moments. The Aro app uses motion sensing in your phone to track off-screen time and gamifies the experience of being away from your phone.
* Set Phone-Free Goals and Track Your Progress
* Engage with Your Social Circle for Accountability
* Receive Gentle Reminders Throughout the Day
* Join Challenges and Earn Rewards
→ The Box
Purchase an Aro box (optional) to pair with the Aro app. The box acts as the visual cue to be present with your family, automatically tracks and rewards you for intentional time away from your phone, and charges your phone while you recharge.

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing Aro
I would suggest it to everyone. It brigs family’s together and gets you interested in other the things than your phone. Just by getting off your phone you can feel more alive and happier. Ske to everyone who wants to have quality family time I would suggest the Aro.
Absolutely love the Aro Box, App is meh
My husband and I are absolutely loving the Aro box, but I’m sadly not super impressed with the app. Wish I could have just purchased the box and not had to pay the $180 for a year that I’m not going to use the app. Regardless, our physical screen time has dropped significant (although now my iPhone says my screen time is up 50% because it counts Aro app sessions as screen time 🤦🏻♀️) Great concept, but for the price wasn’t hoping for something more. Box is beautiful though and we love the lightning charger.
Developer Response ,

These features include personalized suggestions, digital wellness guidance and deeper insights. Let us know if you have any feedback on the new experience and we hope it better aligns with your expectations!
Aro makes an impact on phone use
My wife, daughter, and I have all found HOURS more time in our lives in just two weeks by having the Aro box. We compete against each other to put our phone down the longest. Great app, great product
