The Balance Phone (a simple phone without distractions)

The Balance Phone is a great idea. It gives all the advantages of having a smartphone, but without all the unnecessary add-ons and distractions. Now used in over 50 countries, it has over 11,000 users who have collectively saved over 2 million hours wasted scrolling endlessly on phones.

It’s almost impossible for a smartphone to claim to be vegan (due to liquid displays having animal cholesterol – same with laptops). So this is the next best thing.

Avoid charging phones overnight, as this wastes energy in the early hours, when the phone battery is already full. Other ways to save energy are to turn down brightness, and remove unused apps.

How does the Balance Phone work?

It’s just like a normal smartphone, and is built on Samsung devices running OS, the current operating system. But this one automatically blocks access to social media, games,  gambling, pornography, streaming and entertainment apps and websites.

But you can still use any useful app you need like messaging, navigation, music (not useful but good!), banking, health, work tools and mobility apps.

The typical cluttered smartphone interface is replaced with a simpler calmer design with no ‘visual noise’ so you can focus on what matters. Giving you back your time, attention and mental space.

The phone is sold with worldwide compatibility and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Reviews

We realised it didn’t make sense to ask our child to use screens less, if we were the first ones glued to our phones all day.

I’m more focused, I scroll a lot less. My phone is still useful, but it no longer takes over my day.
