DiGi blocks distracting apps without confiscating phones – Share this with your parents and pupils today to help them during their revision period.
The hit drama “Adolescence” has exposed the harsh reality of how phones and internet misuse radicalise children and fuel bullying. Parents are scrambling for solutions and often look to already-stretched educators.
Research from the University of Birmingham showed that school-only bans aren’t enough – students need consistent boundaries at school AND at home.
“Parents expect schools to help solve the screen time problem. But poor digital habits are developed at home, impacting sleep, mental health and performance at school”, says DiGi cofounder, Andrew Mellor.
“DiGi allows parents to schedule phone-free time for study, sleep, socialising or family. Distracting apps are blocked without confiscating phones allowing parents to limit the time their kids spend on social media without a fuss.”
● No Confiscation Required: Phones stay with students, but distracting apps are automatically blocked
● Schedules: Sleep and study schedules can be set by parents.
● Tasks: Parents can set tasks for children to complete before earning screen time.
● Instant Restoration: All services return immediately when tasks are completed or schedules end.
Research proves phone restrictions boost academic performance. The London School of Economics’ landmark 2015 study revealed:
● Phone bans increased test scores by 6+ percentage points
● Low-achieving students gained the most benefit
● Results equivalent to adding an extra week of school annually
