SLOW DIAL
01 · WAITLIST

Turn your iPhone into a flip phone.
Keep everything it can do.

A keypad on your home screen. Nine people, not nine apps. Everything distracting is one slow, deliberate dial away.

THE PROBLEM

People are already paying hundreds of dollars to get away from this.

The Light Phone sells for a few hundred dollars, does almost nothing, and people buy it anyway — because a plain rectangle that can't reach Instagram at 11pm is worth that much to them. Most people won't make that trade. They still need Maps, banking, their boarding pass, a QR code at the register.

Slow Dial is the free version of that feeling — on the phone you already own. Nothing to buy, nothing to give up. Just a different front door to it.

HOW IT WORKS

Three small changes to your home screen.

1

Your home screen becomes a keypad.

Nine keys, styled like an old backlit LCD. It sits over a matching wallpaper until the widget itself disappears.

2

Speed dial, but for people.

Keys 1–9 are the people you actually talk to — a message or a call, one press. Apps live one key away, not scattered across a grid.

3

Distracting apps get a dial tone.

Instagram isn't on the keypad. To open it, you spell its name on the keys and wait out a short call. Every call today makes the next one longer.
