What Is The Light Phone
The Light Phone is a sleek, minimalist mobile phone that only includes essential tools like calling, texting, alarms, directions, and a few optional utilities like a music player and hotspot. There’s no browser, no social media, no newsfeed, no email, by design. It’s powered by a custom e-ink display (like a Kindle) to reduce eye strain and encourage conscious usage.
You activate the phone with your current number or a new line, and manage it with the Light Dashboard, a simple web-based interface that lets you customize your tools. Built to be a “phone away from your phone,” it’s a companion device, or a full replacement for people ready to disconnect more deeply.
What Makes The Light Phone Different
Unlike smartphones that compete for your attention every second, this phone is intentionally designed to respect your time and mental bandwidth. It won’t tempt you with Instagram, doomscrolling, or email refreshes. Instead, it acts as a calm anchor, helping you stay grounded in real life.
It’s not a downgrade, it’s an upgrade in awareness. You’ll be surprised how much more present you become when your phone supports your goals instead of hijacking your attention.
Meet the Founders
Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang are the creative minds behind The Light Phone. A designer and a product engineer, they met at Google’s 30 Weeks incubator program in NYC. As tech insiders, they saw firsthand how smartphones were engineered for addiction, and they decided to build the opposite.
Their mission? To empower people to experience a life where technology supports, not steals from, human connection. With The Light Phone, they’ve helped thousands of users rediscover life beyond the screen, without sacrificing the tools that matter most.
