How it works

Three steps. No willpower needed.

  1. Put your phone in

    Slide it in and swing the white lid shut.

  2. Set the time

    Tap the button to add time, hold to lock. You get 5 seconds to change your mind.

  3. Get on with your evening

    It opens on its own when the timer ends. Anything from 5 minutes to 12 hours.

Need to take a call? Answer it through the window on the back.

Why a box

Apps ask for willpower. The box doesn't.

Screen-time limits stop you at the worst moment, then let you skip with one tap.

Screen-time apps

One tap and you're back in

The limit pops up, "Ignore limit" is right there, and the phone is still in your hand.

Out of reach until the timer ends

The details

Small things, thought through

Calls still come through

A small window on the back lets you answer or hang up a call. A soft plug keeps it closed.

No notifications

The box is opaque, so the lock screen can't pull you back in.

5 seconds to change your mind

After you set the time, you have 5 seconds to cancel. Then it stays locked.

Two emergency unlocks

Hold the button for 10 seconds to open it early. This works twice in the box's life, for real emergencies.

No visible screws

A smooth shell with nothing to pry at.

Pocket-sized

About the size of a large phone. Take it to the office, the library or a friend's place.
