Welligama

Welligama is a digital wellbeing brand offering a mindful alternative to rigid app blocking. Its Breathe-to-Unlock technology helps people pause before using apps they find distracting, turning the urge to scroll into an opportunity to reset and use devices more consciously. The approach draws on a mindfulness breathing practice and is designed to help users reclaim attention without treating all screen time as something to eliminate.

With Welligama, users choose which apps to manage and set how long they can access them after unlocking. When an app is locked, they follow an interactive slider through three mindful breaths to restore access. The brand says this process can support focus, interrupt mindless scrolling, encourage healthier digital habits, and make screen time more self-aware.

Welligama provides app-based tools and also offers information for teams, a desktop option, and resources about its science and approach. Founded by Praveen Dayananda, the brand shares a breathing practice shaped by his mindfulness experience, aiming to make everyday technology use more intentional and balanced.
