Less phone use, by design.


Analog creates digital boundaries in physical spaces:
simple, automated, and shared phone-use restrictions appropriate to time and place.

How Analog Works

Landing-howworks1

Attention Beacons signal and enforce low-digital schedules to phones in a physical space.

Landing-howworks2

Phones in the Beacon's proximity and enrolled in its routines are governed automatically.

Set Up In Minutes. Run on Autopilot.

ConfigureRoutines

1. Configure Routines

Set up when Attention Beacons should turn on, and what apps are allowed during Analog Routines. After setup, Routines turn on automatically.

ShareWithYourGroup

2. Share With Family

Invite family members to join Analog Routines. Everyone participates together, creating shared norms. After enrollment, Routines are triggered automatically.

TrackAndImprove

3. Monitor and Reward

Track Digital Health Scores, compare progress, and earn rewards for building better digital habits together.

Why Analog Works

Transforms Spaces, Not Just Screens

Analog works by embedding digital wellness into physical environments. Unlike apps that rely on willpower alone, Analog creates clear boundaries and visual cues that naturally shape behavior, making healthy digital habits feel automatic rather than forced.

Harnesses Collective Action

When everyone in a space follows the same digital norms—whether family members or classmates—it flips social pressure from "always being online" to being present. This shared experience makes digital wellness feel supportive rather than isolating.

Reframes Control, From Tech to Teen

Rather than treating phones as contraband, Analog respects teen autonomy while providing needed structure. By maintaining access to essential functions and rewarding positive choices, it helps teens feel in control of their technology instead of controlled by it.

Makes Good Habits Automatic

By combining environmental cues, pre-committed routines, and reward systems, Analog provides all the key ingredients for lasting habit formation. Digital wellness becomes seamlessly integrated into daily life rather than requiring constant effort.

Mediates Phone Use For You

No complex configurations or constant monitoring required. Analog carries the burden of enforcement so parents and teachers don't have to. This transforms digital wellness from a source of conflict into a shared commitment, with technology working quietly in the background to support healthy habits.

Today's students will live their lives with smartphones. Rather than fighting against this reality, we're excited to partner with Analog to create an environment where technology enhances learning without hijacking attention. It's about giving our students the structure they need while treating them with the respect they deserve.

As educators, we've been looking for a solution that respects both parents' need to reach their children and teachers' need for focused classrooms. Analog's approach of allowing essential functions while limiting distractions feels like the right balance.
