‘Shabbat with training wheels’: Sabbath app offers a modern take on unplugging...

A new app called Sabbath, launched by Dig Wells, helps users lock away their phones from sundown to sundown one day each week. The tool targets phone-addicted users with features meant to support weekly unplugging.

Dig Wells previously created the reading app Matter and the habit tracker Halo. The Sabbath app presents itself as training wheels for observing a traditional day of rest.
