Why a privacy focused phone?
When we started this journey writing this Substack it let me express my experiences and thoughts about creating a private digital life. For you folks new to this Substack, please take a look at the second Substack I wrote called “Why Privacy Matters”.
Here are a few reasons to put a privacy focused phone in your pocket:
Create a circle of trust to communicate with only those that matter most
Separate professional and personal communications
Stop feeding the algorithm
Digital diet, digital wellness, and digital detox
Private Communications without Big Tech getting in the middle
Family communications with no social media
Conversations without corporate IT interference
Lawyer/Client communications
Intellectual property conversations
M&A conversations
Board of Director conversations
The Jellybean
The Jellybean is phone for youngsters that require a phone but too young for a smartphone. As the saying goes, “once you give a child a smartphone you have ended their childhood”.
Phone for Youngsters Features
Small, simple, and affordable
No social media
Parental App Store lock
Optional: No Web Browser
Optional: Calls and text only
In Closing
Don’t worry, not all future Substacks will be about our phones. They will be a mix of privacy related topics (and rants) and of course we will sprinkle in how we can help your privacy journey.
Are you ready to live in the moment instead of living the moments they feed you?
Thanks for reading,
Will
