Mario embodies the "umarell": the figure who watches, studies, and quietly passes judgment. It is a device designed to reclaim attention when the phone intrudes on moments that require presence, whether reading, watching a film, or simply being engaged with what is in front of you. Its purpose is not to restrict, but to remind. Whenever the smartphone risks taking over, Mario draws you back to what matters.
