About this site

Who We Are

Wise Eyes Open is a digital wellness publication and studio. We create research-backed content that questions popular narratives about phone addiction, productivity, and intentional living, and we build tools to test our ideas in the real world.

What We Believe

Most digital wellness advice isn't working. The self-help books promise transformation. The apps promise control. But here we are: still scrolling, still overwhelmed, navigating AI's rapid advance and watching our attention, relationships, and sense of control slip further away.

Something's missing in how we understand and address these problems. The issues run deeper than screen time or willpower. They're about maintaining agency and connection in a world that's changing faster than our capacity to adapt. We're committed to figuring it out through research, critical analysis, and building solutions we can test.

We're not here to preach or peddle easy answers. We're here to dig deeper and share what we find.

What We Do

We publish essays, interviews, research breakdowns, and reflections on digital wellness, technology's impact, and intentional living. Our newsletter is how we share this work: new ideas, perspectives, and updates delivered straight to your inbox.

Our Studio showcases the tools we're building based on these insights. Our first project, nomp, explores how social dynamics might change the game for building better phone habits.
