The dumbphone revival and the broader push to reclaim our attention have zeroed in on one habit in particular: reaching for a phone the moment we wake, and again as the last thing before sleep. A growing crop of devices now promises to break that loop, from feature phones built purely for calls and texts to social-media-blocking flip phones like Commodore's retro Callback 8020. Copenhagen-based Habity Design is tackling the same problem from a different direction, replacing the phone on your nightstand rather than the one in your pocket.

Not this part:

The Habity clock is priced at 995 Danish kroner, or roughly US$150

But, this is coming from a guy who spent $500 on an Apple watch, which has ended up sitting next to my bed as a clock that displays the time when I bump the shelf. It's cool that it doesn't glow at me all night long, but not $500 cool.
