Decide once where your phone hangs.
A phone in your pocket asks for a new decision a hundred times a day.
How does ANKOR work?
One tap, then the phone hangs. That is the entire ritual.
01
Tap
Tap the top edge of your phone on ANKOR. The apps you chose go quiet.
02
Hang or take along
Leave the phone on ANKOR or take the phone along. The apps stay quiet.
03
Tap again
Tap ANKOR again and the apps are back.
One tap, in one place.
ANKOR asks for one tap, 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.
Blocker cards and pucks are objects you carry to make yourself stop. ANKOR is a place. On the wall, ANKOR becomes part of the room. ANKOR Go has a fixed place at home too. Make your phone a tool again.
Bedroom. Hallway. Kitchen. Wherever your phone actually lands.
The app is free with your ANKOR.
Tapping to anchor, three profiles, Friends, a three-minute pause in every session, one emergency exit, the share card and your child’s phone in ANKOR Family. All of it comes with the object, for good.
Become unowned.
With Member your phone works at every ANKOR in the world, and you decide yourself when your phone opens again. Without Member you have one emergency exit.
CHF 80 for a year. Added here with your ANKOR, a year runs thirteen months for the price of twelve. You can also get Member in the app, on iPhone and on Android.
How ANKOR compares
Not another way to lock the phone away.
ANKOR
Blocker cards and pucks
To start
Tap the top edge, hang the phone up
Tap the puck or card
To stop
A second tap on the dock
Tap the puck again
When not in use
A dock on your wall
Loose in a drawer or bag
What the object 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. ANKOR gives the phone 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 ANKOR 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?
Ten minutes. Download the ANKOR app, choose the apps to block, then tap your phone to ANKOR and hang the phone 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. It is available for iPhone and Android.
