From our screens to Ancre
We dedicate our energy to creating tools that motivate you to look at something other than your phone, to sketch the world, and to take time to reflect on whatever.
Especially since, according to scientific studies (follow the link for references), the regular practice of writing, journaling, and/or drawing is beneficial for mental health.
For us, it all started with our daily lives and our desire to disconnect from our screens. It's not a miracle cure (there's no such thing), but it helps us. It's up to each person to find what works for them.
