About this movement

1000 Hours Outside, founded by Ginny Yurich, challenges families to spend as much time outdoors as the average child spends on screens — roughly 1,000 hours per year. The movement has grown to millions of participating families worldwide. Their standard enforces screen time reciprocity: for every hour of screen time, an equal amount of outdoor or active play time is encouraged. With Phosra, families can put this into practice — daily screen limits calibrated to promote outdoor time, with scheduled device-free windows for outdoor play.
