Show Notes
Aro's mission is to have a little less phone time, so you can experience life, uninterrupted. It is the first of its kind smart box that individuals and families can place their phones in while not using them. As soon as the devices are in, the time spent inside is tracked and logged through Aro's companion app. Not only does Aro track your time away from your phone, but it also charges your phone while you recharge. The Aro smart box acts as the visual cue to put down your phone, while the Aro app acts as your coach by helping you set goals and encouraging you to reach them along the way.
