ANKOR Go
Give your phone a place, anywhere.
Press the puck to release it, then tap it with the top edge of your iPhone, through any case. Requires the free ANKOR app for iOS.
CHF 49
The first series is in build. Ships from Basel to Switzerland. We confirm your dispatch date by email once you order, and you can cancel any time before it ships.
The walnut puck and the aluminium frame it sits in, plus the ANKOR app for iOS, which is free.
Solid walnut, milled and oiled, set into an anodised frame. Every face is a finished face, the four narrow edges included, so each piece carries its own grain. Designed in Switzerland.
How it works
One tap, then it hangs. That is the entire ritual.
01
Place
Set your phone on ANKOR the way you already do when you walk in.
02
Focus starts
Tap the top edge of your phone to the dock and hang it up. The apps you chose go quiet.
03
Still ANKORED
Take your phone with you. The block holds until the session ends.
One tap, in one place.
Brick and Bloom are objects you carry and tap wherever you happen to be. ANKOR asks for the same tap, but at one place: the spot on your wall where the phone now belongs. A second tap ends the block. Nothing else happens.
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.

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, then tap your phone to ANKOR and hang it up. That starts 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.
