We’re four students from Western University who were tired of watching our days disappear to screen time.
The average college student spends over 7 hours a day on their phone – that’s nearly 50 hours a week lost
to scrolling, distraction, and burnout. We knew we weren’t alone, so we built Bonsai: a tool to take back
your time and protect your focus. It’s not about quitting your phone – it’s about using it with intention.
Bonsai pairs you with accountability partners to help enforce your goals, so you can spend less time plugged in and more time living.
Accountability that works.
Willpower fades, systems stick. You’re 65% more likely to hit a goal if you share it with others — and 95% with regular check-ins. Bonsai connects you with real people to help you stay on track and follow through.
Time, Reclaimed.
You don’t need more hours. . . just better ones. Bonsai helps you spend your time with intention, not autopilot with intentional goals, check-ins, and daily nudges that keep you grounded in what matters.
Grow on Purpose.
Whether it’s movement, rest, or focus, Bonsai gives your goals structure and support so you can live in alignment, not burnout.
