The FRIDAY mobile app offers a warm welcome and open door to slowing down, reflection, and connection.

Every Friday, 30 minutes before sunset, your phone asks, “Are you ready for Friday?” Your screen then recedes into a blissful twilight and serves up curated, thought-provoking stories from notable authors that fuel personal reflection and lively discussion. After reading, your phone’s screen fades from twilight to darkness, prompting you to put it away and focus on the present moment. But your phone can be awoken at any time.

Using head, heart, and humor, FRIDAY helps transition us from the stressful week into a more restful weekend state of mind. This free, one-of-a-kind app is open to all, and produced by Reboot and IDEO.
