Screen Time
The usage time of mobile devices is constantly increasing. Even at a young age, children are exposed to digital media, which is a good thing. However, the appropriate handling of these devices seems to be largely neglected.
Social networks, streaming platforms, games, and various apps captivate us and make us forget the time we spend staring at screens.
Physical and psychological damages are consequences of excessive use of these media, making it even more important to educate ourselves on conscious usage.
“Can the medium itself become a means of promoting proper usage?”

All eyes on you!
The central element of welley is the eye; it is a symbol of mindfulness and responds to the user's gaze, subtly pointing out the issue of constant screen viewing.
