Hey there, my name is Brian, and this website is the home of a project I've been working on called A Phone That Cares About You.
In brief, I think the first person who makes a phone you can buy that actively helps you navigate addictive apps skillfully will probably shift the default for all mobile devices and the way the internet works in general.
My aim with this website is to push this transition to happen a little faster.
On this website you'll find:
- Experiments — what's been built so far
- Vision — the path from here to a phone you can buy
- Thinking — diagrams, mental models
- Writing — essays on attention, incentives, and what phones could be
- Connect — open threads, the weekly call, and how to reach me
What I'm looking for:
- Feedback on ideas and mocks — tell me what's feeling good, where I'm wrong, or ways I could be more right
- Perspectives and pointers — essays, research, people, projects I should know about
- Hands on the project — engineering on the OS, hardware thinking, design
If you have any of these, head over to Connect or contact me directly:
