Ships from Basel, 5 to 10 business days. Free returns within 30 days.
ANKOR wall dock, wall mount, and the ANKOR app (iOS only).
Cut from reclaimed organ wood, not new timber. Each piece carries its own grain, so no two ANKOR docks look quite the same. Designed and built in Basel.
How it works
Placing your phone is the entire ritual.
01
Place
Set your phone on ANKOR the way you already do when you walk in.
02
Focus starts
The apps you chose go quiet. No tap, no button, no code to enter.
03
Still ANKORED
Take your phone with you. The block holds until the session ends.
No tap to start it. No tap to end it.
Brick and Bloom ask for a deliberate tap to lock your phone, then another to let it go. ANKOR needs neither. You already put your phone down somewhere. Make that place ANKOR.
Not a blocker. A place.
Brick and Bloom are objects you carry to make yourself stop. ANKOR stays on the wall. It becomes part of the room, not another thing to remember, misplace, or take with you when you leave the house.
Bedroom. Entryway. Kitchen. Wherever your phone actually lands.
How ANKOR compares
Not just another way to lock your phone.

Brick & Bloom

What it is
A place, and a boundary
A blocker, nothing else
Compared to Screen Time: a limit you can dismiss with one tap is not a boundary. ANKOR is something you can see and touch, not a setting you argue with.
Compared to a lockbox: ANKOR does not confiscate your phone. It gives it somewhere to be, in the open, on your wall.
Before you buy
Does ANKOR work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. ANKOR uses NFC, not the internet, to start a session. Your phone still needs its own signal for the apps you use during the day.
Will it work with my case?
Yes, with any MagSafe-compatible case, and with no case at all. For other cases, add the ANKOR MagSafe Ring.
How long does setup take?
A few minutes. Download the ANKOR app, choose the apps to block, and place your phone on ANKOR to start your first session.
What happens to calls while I am ANKORED?
Calls always come through. ANKOR changes what you reach for, not who can reach you.
What is included?
ANKOR, a wall mount, and access to the ANKOR app. The app is required and is iOS only for now.
