Every Friday, 30 minutes before sunset, your phone asks, “Are you ready for Friday?” Your screen then recedes into a blissful twilight and serves up curated, thought-provoking stories from notable authors that fuel personal reflection and lively discussion. After reading, your phone’s screen fades from twilight to darkness, prompting you to put it away and focus on the present moment. But your phone can be awoken at any time.
Using head, heart, and humor, FRIDAY helps transition us from the stressful week into a more restful weekend state of mind. This free, one-of-a-kind app is open to all, and produced by Reboot and IDEO.
Reviews
Looks great + is focused
JSz220
The app looks great. I appreciate that it's not trying to make the user do too much. The purpose is focused: to present a new story each week and encourage one to think creatively and perhaps connect with others. A welcomed minimalist app where overload can be the norm.
Thought-provoking and easy to use

This app is a gentle reminder to take a deep breath and be still for a moment- something I don't do often on my own.
Peace out

Great reminder to take time for yourself, with family/friends, and away from electronics. Gotta love it!

Unplug

I have long wanted to take a day away from the Internet and social media so I could remember what it was like to live more in the here and now. A Digital Shabbat. Friday by Reboot finally got me to do it and keeps me doing it.
Great app to shift into the weekend
Stamaste
We all have busy weeks and at the end it can be tough to leave work behind and we often dive right into distractions. This app is a great way to remind me to separate from the workweek and not rush into weekend distractions. The reminder and topics/stories help me to take a breather and think a bit, and are a really great way to re-energize and get to a new frame of mind.
great nudge to unplug...

Needs updated
Eyeless Fish
This app is good for getting people off their phones and tablets. But, it needs updated, and every week I open the app. No articles appear. I hope this gets fixed soon.
