A Proven Approach
Smartphones are designed to be mindlessly seamless. Callback is built around a simple research-backed finding: remove features designed to pull you back in, and reintroduce physical friction. It’s a speed bump for the mind.
The Internot
A 2025 PNAS Nexus study found that blocking online access reduced phone use and improved attention, mental health, and well-being .
Social Notworking
In 2025 Pew Research found 45% of teens say they spend too much time on social media and have actively tried to cut back . Studies like Hunt et al., 2018 show limiting it can reduce loneliness and depression.
We turned these principles into a phone you can live with every day. And like a great multi-tool, when you’re done using it, you snap it shut – a deliberate endpoint instead of another invitation to scroll.
From there, the VFD style front screen shows only time, battery, signal. And if you choose, our Dome-LED notification system is built not to draw you back to a screen.
Close the phone. Open your life.
“I love the digital minimalism angle. There are lots of people that need a complete, no-option break. Simplicity can be good.”
- Leonard Tramiel, son of Commodore Founder Jack Tramiel
Privacy First. Big Data Last.
Linux Based: Encrypted + no hidden data sharing
Private not Profit: No monetizing your data
Zero Friction : No sign-ins required, just turn on
Callback’s custom software was developed with Jolla, the legendary ex-Nokia engineering team behind Europe’s independent, Sailfish OS.
What happens on Callback, stays on Callback. Finally, a phone that minds its own flippin’ business.

Callback may be designed to help you spend less time staring at a screen, but when you need to capture something, it makes it count. The 48MP Sony rear camera includes flash and intelligent autofocus, while the autofocus front-facing camera keeps video calls clear.
For music, Callback goes properly old school in the best possible way. Its audiophile-grade DAC supports HD audio and lossless files, with HQ IEM earphones included in the box.
Even better, its audio heritage runs deep, using DAC chips from ESS and Cirrus Logic – companies with strong Commodore connections. ESS, for example, created the speech synthesis in Commodore games like Ghostbusters and Impossible Mission. That’s why the phone is packed with Commodore SID ringtones .
And when you want more music without algorithms, accounts, or another monthly subscription, just launch the built-in FM radio . Unlimited songs in your pocket.
