"Hi - just put the batteries (thanks for supplying them) in and am waiting for the 6 pm alarm I set to go off…..Your packaging is really appealing! I also really like the your digital mindfulness tips! And now the moment is arriving to hear the alarm.....WOW it is a great sound! I can't wait to use it as my travel alarm, and also a bedside table clock….”
P.S. I snoozed the alarm so I could hear it again. Really like that resonant gong sound!"

"It’s pretty old school and a little slow to get it set up after the subsonic speeds and glitter of the iphone 🙂
That said, wow, waking up without a phone.... having 30 thoughts and not acting on them because there was no phone.... honestly, the world looks different. Totally on board. Sound is great….feels like i’m on retreat every morning."

"...i like the size, the style, and the reminder when I see it to put the phone away... for real, it holds a representation that extends beyond the times I actually use it."

Do you use a smartphone to facilitate meditation?
Do you use a smartphone in bed?
Nighttime & early morning smartphone use undermines everything good you cultivate with your meditation practice
Why Establish Healthy Boundaries With Your Smartphone?
A few not-so-fun-phone facts:
If you're uncomfortable with your smartphone use,
I want to help you.
My name is L.R. and my phone was overly-integrated into my life.
I used it way too much and after much struggle I finally figured out a way to help myself:
I stopped bringing my phone into my bedroom at night.
I needed a tool to do it, and that's how we ended up here.
My problem showed up in two clear ways:
1. My phone was my alarm clock so it was in my hand every morning when I woke up.
My thumb would almost automatically press a social media button. A half-hour or more might pass and I would still be lying there.
Eventually I would get up to meditate, but a minor feeling of guilt crept into my consciousness. That guilty feeling accumulated day after day after day, month after month.
My life was passing me by.
2. My meditation app became a social media app
One morning I opened my eyes after my 20 minutes and found that my meditation app was trying to connect me with someone who had "finished meditating nearby."
A new feature.
As much as I like to connect with like-minded people, I'm not trying to do so the second I come out of meditation. Seeing emails or texts or other notifications isn't what I'm looking for either.
Also, sometimes my foot falls asleep while sitting crosslegged. While I wait out the pins and needles...
...I happen to have my phone in my hand, fresh from closing my timer. Hello (again) Instagram, goodbye ten minutes (or twenty, or thirty...).

"Why don't you just put your phone on airplane mode?"
I tried that and it didn't work for me.
If my phone was within arm's reach, it would end up in my hand. And.....it's pretty easy to turn airplane mode off.
Using that tactic relied on willpower and the forces drawing me to my phone were stronger than my willpower. It's closer to addiction than choice, and part of the definition of addiction is doing something even when you don't want to do it.
For me, the key was to get my phone out of my bedroom. To do that, I knew I needed a very simple tool: a meditation timer/alarm clock.
Exactly one existed! But it cost over $100.
I bit the bullet and bought it.
I started using it. Every night I charged my phone in another room.
It's difficult to overstate how much better my life got.
I don't want to give up my phone: I appreciate and enjoy many of the functions it serves in my everyday life.
But when I started leaving it outside my bedroom every night –and stopped using it as a meditation timer and alarm clock – my life got so much better.
How did I love not having my smartphone at night?
Let me count the ways
Empowered by the contentment that came from a new relationship with my phone, I guessed that others might seek the same presence and peace of mind that I found.
I spent the next year creating the timer I wanted to have on my bed stand every night and next to my meditation cushion every morning.
It's ready, and it's available!
