Comment on “How you design the beep is important.” Behind the movement for calmer gadgets.

I have a work phone and personal phone and they both scream at the slightest news.

Newer app versions don’t heed the “fuck off and shut up” mode when I put the phones face down. So they get a time-out part-way through the day when I’ve had enough of the “every beep more jarring than every other beep” mentality: I throw them into the next room.

This calmer initiative sounds like a godsend.

  Sorry; I thought I mentioned that.
  
  Oh, that’s right: I did. Sorry again.

I’ve disabled notifications for everything except certain contacts. I was all about news notifications for a while, but that was obnoxious.

I use my teams app on my work phone to notify me when I get dm’d while at work.

when I’m not at my desk I don’t hear it because the phone only comes with me if I have to go to location for work.

my personal phone only sends me notifications from my wife, email, and phone calls.

I only get phone calla from work for emergencies only, like “the building is on fire, help us!” emergencies.
