«Justr» investigates the phenomenon of compulsive smartphone behaviour. The concept focuses on the formation of habits and routines over long-term smartphone use and their impact on mental and physical health, as well as on the users' satisfaction. We believe that everyone should be able to decide for themselves which routines they internalize. Therefore, the approach of this concept is to transform problematic behavioural patterns in smartphone use into a long-term satisfying user experience through proven methods of behavioural psychology.
«The project «Justr» by Thore and Janosch tackles one of the most important problems of our time. The increasing compulsive and addictive use of smartphones and social media apps is the consequence of an economy that is increasingly based in attention. The interaction with these devices and apps is based on capturing the most amount of attention from their users, and often employ psychological techniques that may be counterproductive to the user's intentions. This often leads to aimless fidgeting between apps. By focusing on understanding the patterns of use rather than restricting the use of the phone, the project transforms problematic behavioral patterns in smartphone use into a long-term satisfying user experience.» – Excerpt from the supporting statement of the Interaction Design
«With our project, we aim to enable an unprecedented level of autonomy in the use of smartphones, so routines that have been influenced and subconsciously internalized can once again become intended actions.» – Thore Reigber & Janosch Tillich
