Why I Built Pebble
I Was Tired of Losing Every Evening to My Phone
I used to plan my evenings perfectly — workout, read, spend time with family. But every single night, I'd end up scrolling Instagram or YouTube for hours. I'd feel disgusted with myself, promise to do better tomorrow, and repeat the exact same cycle.
So I tried app blockers. All of them. They worked for about 2 days — until I realized I could just unblock the apps in 3 taps. There was zero friction. My brain always won.
Then I discovered Brick — a physical NFC device from the US that made it genuinely impossible to cheat. But it cost ₹7,000+, wasn't available in India, and shipping took weeks.
I thought: why should something this life-changing be so expensive? A college student shouldn't have to spend ₹7,000 to get their focus back.
So I built Pebble. Same concept, built for India, priced at ₹999 — because everyone deserves to take back control of their time.
