How it works

Let it rest, so you can, too! 

FocusRest is a rest for your phone. That’s it. You see it, you remember, you put your phone down and walk away. It's not anti-tech, it's pro-human. 

The magic is in the ritual and repetition. The hundred small moments where you choose yourself over your screen. FocusRest makes that choice easier. 

Want an extra boundary? 

Each FocusRest has an embedded NFC chip that connects to your iPhone’s Focus modes. One tap activates Do Not Disturb or a custom focus you create.

But here’s the thing: using it is optional. The boundary is there if you want it but the real power is in the physical ritual of simply putting your phone down.

How People Use It

  • Permission-Giver

    Just put your phone down. That’s it! No setup, no tech, no pressure. You’ve given yourself permission to take a break. The FocusRest sits there as a gentle reminder.

  • Kitchen Wall Phone

    Remember when phones stayed in one place? Hang a Wall Pocket in your kitchen. Set up a Focus mode that only allows calls from your inner circle and turn on your ringer. Now you can move freely through your home knowing you won’t miss the people who matter — and you won’t be interrupted by everything else.

  • Nightly Ritual

    Place a FocusRest in your bedroom (but try not to put it next to your bed). Before you sleep, tap your phone to activate Sleep mode, then put it to rest. In the morning, tap out to start your day. You’ve bookended your sleep with intention instead of scrolling.

  • Work Boundary

    Tap in when you start work. Tap out when you’re done. Set your Work Focus to show only work apps and contacts during the day. When you tap out and put your phone away, you’ve created a clear line: work is over, life begins.

  • Desk Companion

    Keep a Desk Rest next to where you are creative or read. When you need to focus, put your phone down. Its presence there (down, quiet, held) reminds you that you chose this. You’re not missing out. You’re present.
