About

Low-Tech Picks helps you pick devices that make less screen time the default: simpler phones, alarm clocks, lock boxes and other single-purpose tools. Every pick says who it is not for.

How pages are checked

Prices, network compatibility and device features only appear with a link to the maker or retailer page and the date we checked it. Where something has not been checked yet, the page shows a visible placeholder instead of guessing.
