Manifesto

"In a world of infinite scrolling, the most radical thing you can do is stop. Put down the phone. Step into the forest. Find yourself in the silence."

And actively seek ways to disconnect

Japan pioneered shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) as a health practice — scientifically shown to reduce cortisol by 12% and boost immunity by 50%. Its onsen culture is thousands of years old. Zen tradition has been practiced in these mountains for centuries. This country was built for digital detox — and we make it effortless for English-speaking visitors.

another app.

Wellness Research

Why This Reset Matters

Sleep

Problematic smartphone use has been linked with poorer sleep quality in systematic reviews.

Mood

Meta-analyses have found associations between problematic smartphone use and anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Stress

Forest therapy studies have found lower salivary cortisol and lower blood pressure versus urban controls.

Relaxation

Nature exposure research suggests benefits for relaxation, mental well-being, and restoration.

Research shows associations, not guaranteed outcomes.·Sources:Smartphone use & sleepSmartphone use & mental healthForest therapy reviewNature & well-being
