"Phones aren't bad. They just don't belong in all social spaces."
- Seán Killingsworth, Reconnect Founder
AS FEATURED IN
A growing movement
Hosted 200+ phone-free events
Welcomed 1,200+ unique participants
Created 6,000+ collective phone-free hours of connection
That’s over 250 full days of presence
The goal is to launch phone-free clubs in as many high schools, colleges, and communities as humanly possible
How it started
Reconnect began as a way to hang out with friends without phones. The goal was that no one would feel shamed or excluded, just invited into a space for connection and presence. Today, Reconnect is rapidly spreading through schools and communities as a network of clubs to connect, make friends, and have fun free from the distraction of phones.
Why Reconnect Is Necessary
The Problem Reconnect Is Solving
What is a Reconnect event?
Conversation picnics in the park
Art jams to talk and paint
Group hikes
Really anything you want to do with friends phone free
Reconnect doesn’t prescribe,
it invites.
You don't need to delete social media or get a flip phone to join Reconnect. We create fully present, uninterrupted social spaces where connection naturally thrives. And everyone's invited.
Everyone deserves a choice between two habitats:
Screen Habitat: online, recorded, attention split
Natural Connection Habitat: offline, together,
fully present
Today that choice is rarely available. Our mission is to make it normal.
We Need Both Habitats
It’s tempting to make one right and one wrong.
The truth is that we will always need both.
Right now, we need an accessible choice to take a break from screen habitats.
