Our Story
MyLizard exists to help adults and kids overcome tech addiction.
The name comes from the lizard brain, which is the most primitive part of your brain. It handles fear and rage
The Lizard Brain does a great job keeping you safe from tigers (so far so good!) but it's also easily manipulated by tech companies whose algorithms keep you engaged by making you scared and angry.
We want to help you and your kids take back control of your lizard brains so that you can spend your remaining free time on the things you really value.
“All my friends are becoming zombies!”

What We Believe
The principles that guide everything we do.
Human-Centered
Technology should serve humans, not the other way around. Every product we carry is evaluated by that standard.
Privacy First
Your data and your family's attention belong to you — not to an algorithm.
In-Person First
Face-to-face interactions are more valuable than tasks and texts. Our products help make space for them.
Intentional Design
The things we choose should be pleasing, functional, and worth their place in your life.
