Digital Sabbath

On June 21, 2026, we all put down our phones together.

No doomscrolling. One day of collective rest.

What happens on June 21?

At midnight on the summer solstice, Digital Sabbath activates. For the next 24 hours, social media feeds won't load. Gambling sites won't respond. AI chatbots go quiet. Everything else works normally — calls, texts, maps, music, banking.

You can still open the apps. But their feeds return nothing. A quiet reminder to look up.

How it works

iOS

A lightweight VPN runs entirely on your device. It intercepts DNS requests and returns empty responses for blocked domains. No data leaves your phone.

Chrome

A Manifest V3 extension uses declarative rules to block the same domains in your browser. No background scripts, no data collection.

Your data stays yours

Digital Sabbath processes everything locally on your device. We never see your browsing data. We never see which apps you use. The only thing our server knows is that you joined — a single counter, nothing more.
