Less phone use, by design.

Analog is a hardware + software system that creates digital boundaries in physical places—so you can take control of technology, not the other way around.

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.

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

Why Analog works

Transform4
 

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.

Collective2
 

Harnesses Collective Action

When everyone in a space follows the same digital norms, 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.

AutoHabits
 

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
 

Mediates Phone Use For You

No complex configurations or constant monitoring required. Analog carries the burden of enforcement so parents 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.
