Personal Consultation & Digital Guidance

When digital questions unsettle or conflicts arise, we offer orientation through listening, contextualizing and concrete recommendations for your individual situation.

Devices and apps are becoming increasingly complex – and with them the risk of addictive behavior, data protection problems, fraud or being "hacked". At the same time, we are all expected to be our own IT support and constantly have everything under control. Instead of having to struggle through endless guides or information evenings, you will receive personal, understandable and practical support from us.

Whether it's about your own smartphone, your children's media use or your parents' or grandparents' devices – you don't have to solve this alone.

In a structured conversation, we clarify your individual situation and work together to develop concrete, practical steps that will help you use digital media more safely, consciously and with less stress.

Technical Implementation & Device Setup

It's impressive what digital technologies can do today. If only we knew how to stop them from being able to do everything.

Smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs and consoles – each of these devices can do more today than the computers that flew the Apollo mission to the moon. By default, almost everything is usually allowed: unlimited content, purchases with one click, endless apps, screen times without limits. In addition, each operating system has its own settings, each app has its own rules – and what worked yesterday can be different again tomorrow. We take this complexity off your hands.

We come to your home on request or work together with all relevant devices at our place and set up everything technically according to your needs and life situation.

Whether iPhone or Android, Windows or Mac, Samsung or Apple – operating systems and manufacturers don't matter. Our solutions are individual, not general. The service can be one-time, when it comes to basic setup, or regularly adjusted when life phases or needs change.

We set up your devices so that they support you instead of making everyday life more difficult.

Hobby Counseling

We engage ourselves less and less today – we are being engaged. Apps, platforms and games are designed to bind our attention, keep us scrolling and make us forget time.

Those who have been stuck in this cycle for a long time sometimes lose access to what else could bring joy. What used to give me pleasure? Have I ever had a real, analog hobby? And even if it's clear that there would be many possibilities, this very variety can be overwhelming – instead of curiosity, emptiness arises.

For work, there is counseling, orientation help and conversations. For leisure time, on the other hand, it is often expected that you "find out for yourself". This is exactly where we come in.

In joint conversations, we get to know the person behind the screen: interests, strengths, needs, time and money budget as well as the current life situation. On this basis, we develop from many possible hobbies a small, realistic selection that really fits everyday life.

It doesn't stop at ideas. Many people face very concrete initial hurdles – uncertainty, lack of experience or the hurdle of the first step. We help to overcome these hurdles and provide real starting help so that a new hobby can not only be started, but also integrated into everyday life in the long term.

Auszeit-Retreats

Retreats

A radical screen-free approach in everyday life is often difficult to implement and can even create additional stress. More sensible are consciously designed breaks that create space for new habits without overwhelming.

Our retreats offer a clear, thoughtful framework with professional support, meditation and mindfulness offerings, guided yoga and Pilates sessions as well as movement in nature – such as hiking or jogging. Digital stimuli fade into the background by offering participants various analog activity alternatives for indoors and outdoors.

"Stay safe and relaxed online"

Senior

1) Initial Situation

  • A single grandfather regularly uses computer and email
  • The family is worried about fraudulent messages, fake content and manipulative contact attempts
  • Especially difficult: AI-generated content, fake senders and emotional pressure are becoming increasingly difficult to recognize

2) Steps Taken

  • Joint counseling with the grandfather:
    What do typical fraud patterns look like? How do you recognize unreliable messages or contact attempts?
  • Involvement of the family:
    Sensitization to signs of targeted influence or isolation. Clarification of how to stay open in conversation without creating mistrust.
  • Technical implementation on the device:
    Advertising and spam filters, newsletter cleanup. Protection against phishing emails and fraudulent websites. Support in recognizing AI-generated content.

3) Long-term Plan

  • Regular review and adjustment of settings
  • Contact person for uncertainties or new questions
  • Support for the family when situations change

4) Effect

  • The grandfather feels safer and more relaxed when using computer and email

"Set up, accompany children, let go"

1) Initial Situation

  • A 9-year-old child naturally uses smartphone, tablet and game consoles
  • The parents want to enable use – but protect from inappropriate content, excessive scrolling and hidden costs
  • At the same time, they notice: Children often know the workarounds better than the settings (in-game purchases, new apps, new loopholes)
  • Parents don't want to constantly do technical detective work – but reliably accompany

2) Steps Taken

  • Joint counseling with parents and child:
    What is allowed, what is (not yet) – and why? Which content and games fit the age? How does "too much screen" actually feel? Building clear, understandable rules and routines.
  • Technical implementation on all relevant devices:
    Protection from pornography, violence and inappropriate content. Restriction of scrolling apps, pay-to-win mechanics and in-app purchases. Time-limited releases and simple options for parents to allow or block content – without technical knowledge.

3) Long-term Plan

  • Adjustment of settings with the age and needs of the child
  • Regular conversations instead of constant control
  • Support for parents when new devices, apps or questions arise

4) Effect

  • The child can use digital media – protected and age-appropriate
  • Fewer conflicts because rules are clear and understandable
  • Parents don't have to know every loophole
  • More peace in family everyday life – and trust on both sides
