The Lilspace platform is a digital detox app that encourages offline behavior and mindful moments through positive reinforcement. Users can track time spent "being present," as well as set snooze notifications and auto replies to incoming texts and calls. The digital detox app utilizes a somewhat gamified approach and every month, different incentives are offered for spending time away from devices. Each minute is tracked on one's account and later, the total amount of offline hours may be redeemed for perks, provided by partnering businesses and organizations.
For example, January's 'Unplug for a Cause' helped the nonprofit organization LA Family Housing. Collectively reaching 100 hours of offline time, users of the digital detox app were able to bring meals to the center's residents.
