Talk to Myself

Not all screen time is the same.

We live with our smartphones 24 hours a day.

Many services keep us there longer than we intended.

Our attention is often spent on what is interesting rather than what matters in our own lives.

For children, this concern has become serious enough that many schools and parents now limit or prohibit smartphone use.

But perhaps the smartphone itself isn’t the whole question.

We believe we need to look at where our attention goes.

Is your attention being used for you — or just to keep you there?

At Horizon, one way we think about this distinction is Attention-Free Software.

Talk to Myself

Talk to Myself is built to be Attention-Free.

It turns your attention back to yourself — to your own thoughts, your own time, and your own life.

Sometimes, what is happening right now can feel like everything.

But when you can see your own thoughts over time, you may see something that’s easy to forget:

This moment is not your whole life.

We don’t want technology to tell you where to look.

Sometimes, it should simply give your attention back to you.

Everyone finds their own light.
