Get your brain back.
Keep your number.Keep your iPhone.Kill the doomscroll.
The world's first screenless smartphone — designed to enhance your life, not steal it.
96 pickups a day. Four hours of screen time. You've tried screen time limits, grayscale mode, deleting Instagram on Sundays. Cute. The phone won anyway.
That's not a willpower problem. That's a billion-dollar attention economy working exactly as designed. You're not weak. You're outgunned.
The cheat code
CEOs and celebrities don't doom-scroll. Not because they're more disciplined — because they have someone who handles everything for them. Calls, messages, logistics. They stay connected to what matters and never touch a screen.
That used to cost a six-figure salary.
Now it costs $299.
The smartest smartphone
Think about the assistant a CEO has — the one who's been with them for years. They know the spouse's name, the coffee order, who to let through, and who to put off until next week.
Telo is that person. Tell it something once — it remembers forever. The more you use it, the better it gets. Over time, it stops sounding like an AI and starts sounding like someone who actually knows you.
And everything it knows stays on your device. End-to-end encrypted. Even we can't see your data. No one reads it, sells it, or targets ads at it. Just you and your Telo.
Remembers everything
Your people, your routines, your preferences. Tell it once — it remembers forever.
Talks like you
Your tone, your humor, your style. It sounds like someone who knows you — because it does.
Only you can see it
End-to-end encrypted. Even we can't access your data. No reading it, no selling it, no ads.
The speaker and mic give Telo a voice. The camera on the edge gives it eyes. Point it at anything — like a remote control for the real world.
“Read me the fine print.”
Point at a contract, a lease, a form. Telo reads it and gives you the summary in plain English.
“What's the dosage on this bottle?”
Point at a label, a prescription, a box. Telo reads the tiny print your eyes gave up on.
“Pick me the healthiest option.”
Point at any menu. Telo reads the whole thing and picks for you. Works at restaurants, grocery aisles, drive-throughs.
Boarding passes, concert tickets, payment codes, quick message scans — the e-ink display shows what you need, then stays out of your way. And because it's e-ink, you can still get on the flight with zero battery.
Telo fits in your palm. Clip it to your keys, drop it in a pocket, toss it in a bag. It's the size of a car remote and it replaces the thing you can't stop staring at.
That's the whole point. The best phone is the one you forget about until you actually need it.
Telo shares the phone number you already have — like a cellular Apple Watch, but it can carry your whole day. Someone calls, both devices ring, whichever answers wins. Nothing to port, nothing to cancel, nothing to explain to your carrier. Set it up once, then leave your phone at home on purpose.
Same number
Calls and texts from the number everyone already knows
Both ring
Phone at home, Telo in your pocket — you never miss a call
No porting
Your carrier, your plan, your number — all untouched
What it actually does
Press the button. Say what you need. Calls, texts, emails, directions, payments — handled. Put it back in your pocket. That's it. That's the phone.
Robocalls, marketing texts, that friend from high school who sells insurance now — they don't get through. Telo learns who matters to you, how urgently, and handles everyone else so you never have to.
Telo shares the number you already have — no porting, no new plan, no sidekick number nobody recognizes. When your mom calls, it rings. Your old phone can ring too. Whichever you answer wins.
Turn-by-turn voice navigation. No squinting at a 6-inch screen while driving 70mph like a maniac.
Tap to pay. Flash your boarding pass. Show your concert ticket. And because it's e-ink, your boarding pass stays on screen even if the battery dies. Try that with your iPhone at gate B12.
Your smartphone doesn't get thrown away — it gets demoted. It becomes the tablet you grab on purpose, while Telo carries your number, your calls, and your day. Connection becomes a choice again.
Point the camera at a sign in Tokyo — instant translation. Point it at a weird plant — identified. It sees what you see and tells you what you need to know.
Telo reads your email so you don't have to. "You got three things worth knowing about today." The rest? Sorted, summarized, and out of your way.
"If anyone from work calls after 7pm, tell them I'll call back tomorrow." That's not a feature request. That's you talking to Telo. And now it just does that. Forever.
Stupidly simple
Your fingerprint unlocks it. No Face ID dance. No passcode. Just your thumb and you're in.
"Call mom." "Navigate to the airport." "How much did I spend on food this week?" Talk like a human. Telo figures out the rest.
Telo goes quiet. No buzzing. No red badges. No "just one more scroll." If something actually matters, Telo will tell you. Otherwise — enjoy the silence.
Actually private
We get paid to make your life better, not to keep you on a screen.
Your data is encrypted with keys only your device holds. We literally cannot read it. Even if we wanted to. Which we don't.
Mic is off until you press the button. No wake word. No "always listening for your convenience." Off means off.
Wireless charging. eSIM. No USB port for forensic tools. No SIM card for a carrier store employee to "accidentally" swap.
Telo learns your relationships, your routines, how you like things done — and it keeps all of that on-device, encrypted, yours. It gets smarter about your life without ever telling anyone about it.
No. That's the part everyone gets wrong. Telo shares the number you already have — nothing to port, nothing to cancel. Your iPhone doesn't go in the trash; it just gets demoted to the tablet you pick up on purpose, at home, when you actually want it. Telo carries your day. Your phone waits for you instead of the other way around.
Dumb phones are dumb. They solve the attention problem by removing everything useful. Telo removes the distractions and keeps the capabilities. It's arguably smarter than your smartphone.
No. And frankly, it's weird that we have to say that. But here we are. No always-on mic. No data harvesting. We make money from the device, not from you.
Simple pricing
No tiers. No data buckets. No contracts. There's nothing to configure — that's the point.
~$10/mo to them
Like adding a watch to your plan.
$10/mo
Security and infrastructure. What we actually do.
$0 from us
Bring the brain you already pay for.
Self-hosters: run your own relay and memory at home, pay us $0/mo. We sell hardware and security — not your data, not tokens, not cell plans.
Get on the waitlist. We'll let you know when it's time to break up with your phone.
