Since early 2023, I’ve been redefining my relationship with technology so it actually supports my life. Now I'm building #freewithtech to help others do the same.
Tools I wish I had when I first started my journey from digital slavery to true freedom
A habit tracker for Apple Watch with integrations to Health for mood and mindful session tracking.
A capture tool for Apple Watch that makes offloading super easy in order to remain present.
I set out to build my first startup, but it turned into a vision I hadn’t imagined.
“I didn't plan to build a philosophy. I just wanted freedom from tech that was running my life. By journaling, decluttering, and switching to privacy-respecting tools, I found a simple path from overwhelm to control. Now I share it so others can do the same. It's not about quitting tech, but making it work for you. Small steps, big freedom.”
Digital reset
I was distracted by digital tools in my life so I made a dramatic shift to analog journaling with 0 apps on my iPhone.
Building my startup
Joined other startup
Bootstrapping edi was tough and I needed to make ends meet. Hence, I joined US greenfield project as a software engineer.
Tech layoff
Financial situation at the company that was bootstrapping the greenfield project was tough so I was laid off with my whole team.
1st blog post
After reflection, I took another leap and started creating content with the primary goal of sharing my transformation.
1st video recording
After 1 month of blogging, I've started recording videos to connect with my audience at a deeper level.
IT meetup and podcast
I've shared my journey to becoming #freewithtech at a local tech meetup. Got invited to a local podcast shortly after.
Official branding
At this point, I knew there is more to #freewithtech. This is why I've decided to invest some of my resources into a visual identity.
Building fwt. apps
I've decided to leverage my tech skills to start building tools that support my vision. Financial sustainability is my next goal.
20 weeks, 20 videos
Content creation is now my fuel that powers the #freewithtech philosophy for digital living. I invite you to live #freewithtech with me!
Everything I do here stems from my personal transformation, a journey that took two years to define.
The hardest thing is to admit that you have a problem. Get rid of digital tools in your life that don't help you move forward and restart the relationship using pen and paper.
Intentional living outside tech world allows us to think more deeply. This is helpful during readoptation phase where we start using some of our digital tools from the past again.
We've readopted some of the tools and we know why we are using them now. This is a great opportunity to think about alternatives designed with privacy and control in mind.
