A 4" e-ink phone that I hadn’t heard of before. Seems like a promising low-distraction semidumb phone.

Here’s an idea for a “distractions free” phone:

Any android phone.

In a work peofile use a primary launcher app that only shows 3 or 4 important apps. Disable everything else.

Lock all the rest in the normal profile with a password that is a randomized 32 or longer character string that you can’t possibly memorize.

Write it down in glaze on a plate, which you smash and store in a bag with some super glue.

I would never buy this, but it’s nice that it exists

Recently, I watched a YouTube video about phones designed to minimize distractions. While they aim to solve the problem of smartphone overuse, their utility in today’s world is questionable. Essential tasks like using banking apps, navigation, communication, and parking apps often require a smartphone, making these distraction-free phones less practical.

The video mentioned some “smart” distraction-free phones, but if you need those features, why not just adjust the settings on your regular smartphone to achieve a similar minimalist setup? Ultimately, traditional dumb phones seem too limited for modern needs, while the smarter minimalist phones are essentially just smartphones with minimalist settings. It’s hard to see who the target audience for these phones really is.

  Yeah I really like the idea of an E-ink screen for my phone, both for sparing my eyes and my battery. But the way they cripple these phones make them a no-go. And I’m typically very mindful of keeping myself undistracted - I have the alarm clock from the same company just so I can leave the phone in the kitchen when I go to bed.

Crap - this is not compact. WE WANT SMALL PHONES!

  If it was this size but thinner I wouldnt even mind. Although slightly longer and skinnier would be better.
  
  Over $400 is a ridiculous price point though and makes the whole thing a non-starter. I get that its a minimalist product and inherently not going to be the most popular thing, but its OS barely looks better than a mid 2000s palm pilot
