INCLUDED
Everything essential. Nothing addictive.
A phone that keeps the tools you actually need every day, without the apps designed to pull you back in.
Real experiences from people who chose a calmer phone and stayed.
Realistic switching concerns, answered by people using Intent Phone full-time.
"Honestly didn't think it would stick. I've tried screen time apps, greyscale mode, all of it. The difference is you just can't get to Instagram at all. It's not willpower anymore — it's just not there."
"I bought this for my 14-year-old after months of arguments about screen time. Setup took 10 minutes. He can still call us, use Maps, listen to music. We haven't fought about it once since it arrived."
"Took me nearly two weeks to stop reaching for apps that weren't there. Not going to pretend it was easy. But I sleep better now and I've started reading again. Worth it for me — probably not for everyone."
"I was scared I'd miss something important at work. I still have email and WhatsApp, and colleagues know to call if it's urgent. Three months in and I haven't missed a single thing that actually mattered."
"Camera is decent, WhatsApp works perfectly, banking is fine. The only thing I miss is Google Maps offline. The team were super responsive when I messaged them about it — they're clearly paying attention."
"I had a burnout last year. My therapist kept saying my phone was the problem and I kept ignoring her. Finally tried this. My husband says I'm more present than I've been in years. That's not a small thing."
