Our Story
We created the coloring book we couldn't find.
A few years ago, someone gave me a coloring book. "It'll help you relax," they said.
So I sat down with my 48-pencil set, opened to the first page, and stared at hundreds of tiny shapes waiting to be filled. Red or orange? Which green? What if it doesn't match?
Twenty minutes later, my shoulders were at my ears, my jaw was clenched, and I felt more stressed than when I started.
The coloring book went into a drawer. I wasn't alone—research shows 70% of adult coloring books are never finished. Not because people don't want to relax, but because the experience itself becomes another source of overwhelm.
The problem isn't coloring. It's the choices.
Your brain makes roughly 35,000 decisions every day. By evening, it's exhausted.
Traditional coloring books ask you to make hundreds more: Which color? What shade? Does this match? Is this right?
For overthinkers, anxious minds, and anyone already running on empty, those choices don't create calm—they create stress.
We wondered: what if we removed the decisions entirely?
One pen. One color. Complete peace.
Mono moment was born from a simple idea: the most relaxing coloring experience is one where you don't have to think at all.
No color palette to plan. No shades to match. No artistic skill required.
Just one pen, one page, and twenty minutes where your brain finally gets to rest.
As you color, the illustration reveals itself—line by line, shape by shape. There's no right or wrong. Just the simple, rhythmic motion of filling in space.
Neuroscientists call this "structured flow." We call it the reset button your mind has been waiting for.
Made for minds that won't stop.
We design every Mono Moment book for the person who:
- Has tried meditation but can't sit still
- Owns coloring books she's never finished
- Knows she needs to put down her phone but doesn't know what to pick up instead
- Wants 20 minutes where she doesn't have to decide, perform, or optimize anything
If that sounds like you, welcome. You're in the right place.
The details matter.
We obsess over paper quality because nothing ruins a relaxing moment like ink bleeding through to the next page.
Every Mono Moment book features:
- Premium 160gsm paper that handles markers without bleed-through
- Single-sided printing so you never lose an illustration
- 40+ original designs that reveal themselves as you color
- Simple, flowing shapes that calm rather than overwhelm
This isn't a $7 coloring book. It's a wellness tool designed to actually deliver on the promise of calm.
Permission to pause.
In a world that demands you be always on, always optimizing, always doing more—we believe in doing less. In slowing down. In giving your brain the break it's been begging for.
Mono Moment isn't about productivity or self-improvement. It's about twenty minutes of nothing to prove, nothing to decide, nothing to get right.
Just you, one pen, and a little quiet.
That's enough. You're enough.
