Phone Black Box
Popping the popcorn brain
Reclaim your attention. Restore balance. A simple device to end compulsive phone checking and the “popcorn brain” habit.
Pioneering Digital Discipline for a Healthier Mind
At Phone Black Box, we believe that technology should serve us — not control us. Inspired by the growing need to counter smartphone addiction, our team designed the PBB to reduce the compulsive habit of constantly checking the phone. Grounded in the latest behavioral research (2023–2025), PBB helps users overcome “popcorn brain” — a state of restless attention caused by constant notifications and endless scrolling. By promoting conscious disconnection, PBB empowers you to think deeper, sleep better, and live more mindfully. of work.
Fixed Lock Timer
Portable Design
A Simple Device. A Smarter Mind.
The Phone Black Box (PBB) is a compact, portable, and tamper-proof device designed to reduce compulsive phone use. Once your phone is placed inside and the box locks, it cannot be opened until the preset time expires — allowing you to focus fully on work, rest, or real life.

Why It Matters
From Popcorn Brain to Peace of Mind
Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and the urge to “just check” our phones have rewired our brains for distraction. Phone Black Box breaks this loop, helping users restore focus, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and strengthen real-life connections. By reducing compulsive checking, PBB supports better emotional balance, deeper concentration, and more meaningful time — both online and offline.
How It Works
No screens. No buttons. No distractions — just discipline made simple.

Auto-Lock & Focus Mode
The box detects the phone and locks automatically. And during lock time, the companion app handles all notifications and activates DND.
Unlock & Reconnect
Once the timer expires, the box unlocks automatically — and your phone is free.
