What is Neophone, exactly?
Neophone is a handheld, screen-free device designed to interrupt habitual screen-reaching.
It acts like a “placeholder for your phone,” giving your hands something grounding, tactile,
and satisfying to hold — without pulling you into endless scrolling.
How does Neophone help with screen overuse?
Most screen use isn’t intentional — it’s automatic.
We check our phones during tiny moments of boredom or silence.
Neophone breaks that loop through physical habit replacement:
Your hand still reaches — but not for a screen.
Does Neophone replace my smartphone?
No. Neophone is not designed to replace calls, navigation, or messaging.
It replaces the unconscious phone checks — the compulsive ones that drain your focus
and attention.
Is Neophone suitable for children?
Yes. Neophone offers a healthy, screen-free alternative when children need something
to occupy their hands or attention at restaurants, in the car, or during downtime.
Is there science behind this idea?
Yes — the neuroscience behind screen addiction is well documented.
Neophone follows the evidence-based principle of habit loop interruption:
Trigger → Automatic action → Reward Neophone replaces the action (checking a screen) with a calmer, grounding physical object.
Trigger → Automatic action → Reward Neophone replaces the action (checking a screen) with a calmer, grounding physical object.
When should I use Neophone?
Anytime you feel drawn to your phone without intention:
- During short pauses — trains, queues, waiting
- At restaurants or social gatherings
- At bedtime or first thing in the morning
- During work or study breaks
- While traveling
How durable is Neophone and how do I care for it?
Neophone is made from high-tensile polycarbonate — the same material used in aircraft windows.
It's extremely durable, drop-resistant, and flame-polished for a smooth, glass-like finish.
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth as needed.
