Colin Griffin

Founder & Developer, GreenLight LLC

In college, my roommates and I wrote social contracts to keep each other accountable — eating well, getting up early, working out. We even set up each other's screen time passwords so we couldn't scroll mindlessly.

It worked. But after college, we moved to different states. I built GreenLight to recreate that same accountability — without needing to be in the same house. If you've ever wished someone could just take your phone away when you're doom-scrolling, this app is for you.
