The Balance Project
ActiveFamily-centered framework balancing tech use with real-world connection and play.
What The Balance Project asks for.
The Balance Project helps families find a sustainable middle ground on technology — not banning screens entirely, but building intentional habits around when, where, and how devices are used. Their framework emphasizes tech-free meals, bedtime routines, and outdoor time. Families using Phosra can turn these habits into automated rules — scheduled downtime, per-app limits, and notification curfews enforced consistently across platforms.
Adopt this standard
Add this standard to your child's profile. Phosra will automatically enforce all rules across every connected platform.
The Balance Project, mapped to the Phosra API.
Enforce The Balance Project rules individually or adopt the entire standard in one call. Each rule decomposes into the OCSS rule vocabulary a conformant router carries across every surface.
