Look up.
Break the hold.
Use your phone.
Don't let it use you.
You've tried screen time limits, app blockers, cold turkey. Nothing sticks — because none of it was built around you. Look Up Coach is direct, personal support to break the compulsive hold your phone has on you — so you're in control, not the algorithm.

Your phone isn't just
stealing your time.
It's stealing your life.
These platforms were engineered by some of the world's smartest people to keep you hooked. You're not weak. You're fighting a machine — and you've been doing it alone.
Hours disappear without a trace
You pick it up for a second and look up 90 minutes later. The morning gone. The evening gone. The years quietly stacking up.
The people in front of you notice
You're physically there but mentally somewhere else. Your partner. Your kids. Your friends. They feel it, even when they don't say it.
You've tried everything
Limits you override in five seconds. Detoxes that collapse on day two. Guilt cycles that leave you right back where you started. Nothing has stuck.
You can picture what it feels like
Work that actually flows. Evenings that feel real. Picking up your phone because you chose to, not because something pulled you there. That version of you isn't far away — you just need the right support to get there.
Not a program.
A person in your corner.
Direct, personal support means I'm with you through the hard moments — not waiting for a scheduled call. Text-based, private, and built entirely around your life.
You text me
One text gets the ball rolling. I personally reply — no bots, no intake forms, no automated sequences. We talk about where you are and what you actually need.
We build your plan
Together we design a system built around your actual life — your triggers, your schedule, your goals. Including a custom Apple Shortcut that creates real accountability from day one.
I stay with you
This is where it's different. You're not alone in the hard moments anymore. I'm reachable when the urge hits, when you slip, when you need a reset. Direct support through the breakthrough — and beyond.
- Picking it up without deciding to
- Evenings that blur into nothing
- Guilt after every scroll session
- Being present only in body
- Another week of "I'll start Monday"
- Phone use that's intentional — yours to control
- Evenings that feel full and earned
- Real focus — for hours, not minutes
- Relationships that feel closer again
- The hold broken. You in charge.
The Look Up Apple Shortcut
A custom Apple Shortcut we configure together creates a real accountability loop — tracking your actual behavior, not your intentions. It works silently in the background and flags the moments that matter, giving both of us real data to work from. No guesswork. No self-reporting. Just the truth.
I found the way out.
Now I show others.
I spent years trying everything — app limits, detox weekends, productivity systems, sheer willpower. I know what the guilt cycle feels like. I know what it's like to be in a room full of people and feel completely unreachable. I've lived all of it.
What finally broke the pattern wasn't another tool or another strategy. It was having someone alongside me who understood the mechanics of the addiction, held me to the agreements I'd made with myself, and helped me build a relationship with my own attention that actually lasted.
That's what I provide. Not a program to follow. Direct, personal support — in the moments that matter — until the breakthrough happens and using your phone intentionally becomes your natural default.
- Personal, lived experience breaking free from phone addiction
- Proprietary Apple Shortcut system for real behavioral accountability
- Direct, text-based support — available when it actually matters
- No groups, no recorded sessions, no one-size-fits-all curriculum
What it looks like
on the other side.
"I'd tried every app blocker and every 30-day challenge. None of it lasted more than a week. Having an actual person I was accountable to — someone who got a notification every time I broke a rule — changed everything. Three months later I'm down to under an hour a day."
"My mornings are completely different now. I used to reach for my phone before my eyes were fully open. Now I have a whole hour before I even look at it. I didn't think that was possible for me. The shortcut we set up made it real — not aspirational."
"The text-based format was perfect for me. I could reach out in the exact moment I was struggling instead of sitting with it until a weekly call. That's where the real support happened — right when I needed it, not a week later."
Take back control.
It starts with one text.
No application. No intake call. No group session. Just text me, tell me what's going on, and I'll personally reply. We'll figure out if this is the right fit — no pressure either way.
Personal reply. No bots. No automated sequences. No obligation.
What people ask
before they text
App blockers and screen time limits put the entire burden on your willpower — and they're trivially easy to override when you're in the grip of the habit. What's different here is that there's a real person watching, holding you to the agreements you've made, and available the moment you're struggling. That's what changes behavior. Not another setting on your phone.
It means you have a direct line to me via text. No appointment needed, no waiting for a scheduled call. You can reach out when the urge hits, when you slip, when you need someone to help you reset. I check in with you regularly, we review what the Apple Shortcut data is showing, and we adjust your plan as you make progress. It's support in real time — not once a week.
We configure a custom Apple Shortcut on your iPhone together. It creates an accountability loop — tracking when you break the rules we've agreed on and flagging those moments automatically. It turns invisible behavior into visible data, which is when real change becomes possible. You install it, we set it up to match your goals, and it runs quietly in the background. iPhone required (iOS 16+).
It doesn't mean no phone. You'll still use it — for calls, navigation, music, everything you actually want it for. What changes is the compulsive, unconscious use that eats your time without you choosing it. You'll pick it up because you decided to, not because a habit hijacked you. Most people get hours back every day and describe feeling present in a way they'd forgotten was possible. The phone doesn't go away — the hold does.
Pricing is discussed personally after our first conversation — it depends on your situation and what level of support makes sense. Text me and we'll talk it through. There's no pitch, no pressure, and no obligation from reaching out. The first conversation is free.
Most people feel something shift within the first couple of weeks — not because of willpower, but because the accountability structure changes the dynamic immediately. Deeper, lasting change takes longer and looks different for everyone. We work together until the breakthrough is real and stable — not just a streak that collapses on a bad day.
