SlowPhone
Teach kids screens are boring.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Make phones boring. Instead of saying "no screens," give your child a screen with nothing interesting on it. They'll put it down on their own.
SlowPhone makes phones boring on purpose.
THE PROBLEM
Saying "no screens" creates conflict. Letting kids use phones freely leads to overstimulation. Neither feels right.
THE THIRD CHOICE
What if you could say "yes" to the phone — but make it so boring they lose interest on their own?
SlowPhone plays a single slow, quiet video on endless loop. No games. No ads. No algorithm. No next video. Just a snail. Moving slowly. Forever.
Kids quickly discover there's nothing to do here. They put the phone down and find something better.
HOW IT WORKS
• Hand your child the "boring phone"
• They watch for a bit, then get bored
• They put it down and go play
• No battle. No tantrum. Their choice.
KID-PROOF DESIGN
• No visible controls or buttons
• Taps do nothing — can't exit or change videos
• Hidden parent controls via secret gesture
• Works with iOS Guided Access for full lockdown
WHY IT WORKS
Children crave novelty and stimulation. When a screen offers neither, it stops being interesting. SlowPhone doesn't entertain your child — it teaches them that phones aren't that exciting.
Give them the phone. Let them discover it's boring. Watch them choose real life instead.
SlowPhone — the phone they'll put down themselves.
