Today\u2019s world is<\/span> defined by our \u201calways on\u201d culture. As a company that operates at the intersection of technology and humanity, it\u2019s our goal not to just deliver great products, but to help you have a meaningful and better experience with technology. In some cases, that means helping consumers figure out when, and how, to disconnect from time to time.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s something that Arianna Huffington, <\/strong>Thrive Global\u2019s founder and CEO, and I have been talking about for a while now: how to help people strike a better balance with their use of technology<\/a>. Out of those discussions came THRIVE<\/strong>, an app that works as a planner, coach, and guide to helping you focus on what matters most.<\/p>\n

We are excited to begin the rollout to Samsung Galaxy Note8 <\/a>users starting today. With the new THRIVE App, we\u2019re helping Galaxy Note8 fans find balance in turning off their tech to devote time to other activities such as connecting with important people in their lives, exercise, meditation, doing focused work, or whatever matters most to them. It\u2019s all about empowering people to disconnect, because we believe a balanced relationship with technology actually leads to a more productive, and more fulfilling, life.<\/p>\n

With THRIVE, you can do want you want without the distraction and temptation of checking your phone. Simply turn your device on \u201cThrive Mode,\u201d and set it to 20, 30 or 60 minutes \u2013 however much time you need. If you get a call or text while you\u2019re in Thrive Mode, you won\u2019t have to stop what you\u2019re doing to check the notifications. THRIVE automatically replies to your incoming messages by letting the receiver know that you are in Thrive Mode at the moment and when you\u2019ll be online again. That way, you won\u2019t have to stop what you\u2019re doing to check the notification \u2014 you\u2019ll be able to carry on without being interrupted and having to pick back up where you left off.<\/p>\n

We see the potential in technology to enhance our daily lives. As advancements like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things combine to help us overcome barriers and free up our time, the question becomes how we\u2019ll use that time. It\u2019s why we\u2019re so excited to invest in innovations like THRIVE.<\/p>\n

Partnering to help create the THRIVE App is just one of the many ways Samsung is committed to developing technology that helps people make the most of every moment in their lives. We look forward to continuing to work with developers to create more technologies that help everyone work smarter and live better.<\/p>\n
