Downtime is a simple app aimed to change the behavior we all hate: forgetting to keep in touch and call those we love. We seem to always realize when its too late that we had a half an hour here or there throughout the day which would have been a perfect time, but don’t think of it in the moment. The solution is our product- Downtime. It is an app that connects to your digital calendar, which you pre-program for who you want to keep in touch with and how often. The algorithms will then find times when you are free, and send you a simple reminder to call that person. You then have three choices- to call, to have the app find you another time a little later, or to ignore the reminder. And that is the entirety of the app. We simply want to make you aware of when you have the time to connect with those important to you.
