Mission Statement

There are so many things competing for our attention these days: phones, tablets, TVs, laptops. It is hard to find a moment to just be present. For our kids it is even harder. They are growing up in a world where technology is everywhere, and it can be difficult to find a break from it all.

That is why I created the Armando Promise: a series of apps that are free from ads, in app purchases and cheap distractions. I want children to be able to enjoy their childhood, be creative and be present in the moment.

I want them to be able to use technology in a mindful and healthy way.
