Being online is important and often awesome, but too much of anything can be a bad thing.

Helping realign your digital yin and yang is nifty new app Moment.

Stay in the moment

Moment shows you how often your use your phone every day, and aims to limit this time to create a balanced approach to on and offline living.

The app's motto is "Put down your phone and get back to your life".

Balance 

To begin your journey towards harmony, first set a daily limit for phone use.

Moment then reminds you when this limit is approaching. You can even arrange for Moment to force you off your phone for the times you need more encouragement.

Family time

You can also see how much time family members are spending on their phones and tablets, and schedule "off time". For example, around family meal times.

We like the way Moment runs unobtrusively in the background, only interjecting when you approach your usage limits.

You might be surprised by how much you're on the phone – and how much you can cut back without losing productivity.
