David Woodward Says It’s Time to Put Your Phone in a Box—Literally

Are you addicted to your phone—or just trained to be? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we dive into the clever world of physical tools for digital wellness with David Woodward, co-founder of Mindsight.

Once a pet product entrepreneur (yes, he made the squeaky toy your dog loved... and you barely tolerated), David now designs devices that help people unplug, refocus, and live more intentionally. His flagship product? A timed phone lockbox. It sounds extreme, but it's changing lives—from breaking scrolling habits to curbing smoking, overspending, and late-night doomscrolling.

Here's what we explore:

• How a literal box is beating screen addiction when apps can't

• Why fortress mode (30 days, no override) is digital rehab in a box

• Wild user stories—like casino-goers locking up their winnings

• The psychology of self-imposed tech boundaries

• The evolution of the "Breathing Buddha," a screen-free meditation device

• Why the future of digital wellness might be more analog than you think

If you've ever said, "I just want to use my phone less," but couldn't quite follow through—this one's for you.

Ready to reclaim your time, attention, and sleep? Tune in to this powerful conversation—and if it resonates, share it with a fellow phone addict.
