Staring at your phone has become a national pastime of global proportions. Prof. Anna Lembke of Stanford University calls smartphones \u201cthe Modern Day Hypodermic Needle\u201d because of how deeply it affects humans without us really noticing or feeling the difference. The problem is a pretty insidious one, given that phones are designed to be addictive. Seeing a notification, hearing a ping, or even glancing at a red dot above the DMs button is enough to spiral us into 2-3 hours of screen time.

Place your phone on the dock and shut the OVAL and it does two things \u2013 it charges your phone, while simultaneously preventing you from using it. The theory is simple \u2013 when your phone takes a break, so do you. Whether used as a family or in a group setting, the OVAL encourages <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> interaction and enjoyment of each other\u2019s company without the constant presence of phones. To enforce things at first (because setting habits can be hard), the OVAL locks with a timer too. Set a timer on the OVAL\u2019s Present app and it won\u2019t open until the timer ends\u2026 or unless you manually engage the override in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_442867\"

Take a half-an-hour break and that\u2019s enough to significantly charge your device while also giving you 30 minutes of away time from your screen. Do it long enough and it becomes a habit that helps boost your productivity, makes you more mindful, and gives you a chance to really be present for whatever you\u2019re doing or whomever you\u2019re with.

the primary function of the OVAL is to foster positive smartphone habits, it also serves as a charming and distinctive ambient lamp. Built into its translucent design are two LED light strips that cast a diffused glow in and around its space. The Present app lets you adjust both the color as well as the brightness of the LEDs, allowing you to set the mood of your room. Even with the lights switched off, the OVAL\u2019s unique decorative design helps add a light mood to your spaces. \u201cThe design started with the challenge of merging a technological device with a decorative object to create a new typology of product,\u201d say the makers at L&amp;L Present GmbH.
