HOLD is a mobile app startup that rewards you for not using your phone. In a world where we are constantly being distracted by our devices, it has become increasingly hard to stay focused and switch off at the end of the day. At HOLD, we help people find that balance in their lives and help them focus on the things that matter by rewarding those with the hunger and determination to make it happen. We believe that working towards your goals and taking care of your mental health should be an awesome experience.
