About Us

We're tallfellastudios, a small team passionate about creating technology that helps people build healthier relationships with their devices.

HoldUp was born from our own struggles with mindless phone usage. We found that most screen time solutions were either too restrictive or too easy to bypass. We wanted something different, a gentle nudge that respects your autonomy while helping you be more intentional.

Our approach is simple. We add a brief, mindful pause before you open apps you want to use less. It's like giving yourself a moment to ask, "Do I really want to do this right now?" Most of the time, that's enough.

We believe technology should enhance your life, not control it. HoldUp is our contribution to that vision, helping you reclaim your time and attention one mindful pause at a time.
