Our Mission


We love social media. We love the creativity and the limitless possibilities and connections that social media sparks. Unfortunately, social media platforms have leveraged people’s biggest insecurities (fear of missing out) to amass more than half the world’s population. Although providing great benefit to society, its profit-hungry mission to capture sufficient attention until it is monetized by ads has resulted in over 18% of its user base, or 226M users becoming addicted and suffering negative mental consequences such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-esteem issues, and others. Not to even mention the distractedness and the inability to focus for large periods of time. With BeTimeful’s smart News Feed blockers, individuals have their News Feed removed with the option to bring it back for short periods of time. Once BeTimeful is installed and the News Feed is no longer in your face every time you turn on a social media app, the dopamine hit is eliminated thereby the behavior is no longer reinforced. Users see a natural decline in reaching for social media when boredom strikes. With reduced social media addiction come improved grades, mental health, and well-being.


In addition to reducing social media distraction and undoing the mental health harm caused by aggressive social media conglomerates, we are preventing the next 3 Billion Social media users from experiencing the same issues.

Our Story


BeTimeful was cofounded by Daniyal Dehleh and David Ancor to solve a fundamental problem in today’s digitally connected work: social media distraction. Daniyal’s attempt to help himself reduce social media came in the form of website blockers; unfortunately, this solution made his problem worse by blocking him from YouTube (the source of his learning) and Facebook where he got group-work notifications and updates.

This pushed him to develop the first version of BeTimeful - a News Feed eradicator for Chrome. Eventually, he was joined by David Ancor, who also used a News Feed eradicator but saw this technology as a solution to his thesis on Social Media and Mental Health from York University. David’s research showed social media addiction lead to negative mental health consequences such as depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. However, David’s research also showed great benefits from Social Media such as that it keeps us connected, and our support circle just a tweet away. Daniyal and David, along with an ambitious team, are bringing to market a product that will allow users to use social media, and not get used by it.
