Whether you need a break from your smartphone for the weekend or you’re ready to ditch it for good, the Light Phone changes how you experience your time. There is a customizable menu of simple tools, and a dashboard website to manage everything. There is a headphone jack, Bluetooth, and it can be used as a personal hotspot.

Light, the maker of the phone, is not just another tech company. They build all of the tools from scratch to ensure there are absolutely no third party apps tracking you. Your privacy and the privacy of your children is forefront in the design of this phone and OS. In this time of ‘Surveillance Capitalism’ and the ‘Attention Economy’, the Light Phone represents a different option. You are the customer, not the product. This is a phone for humans.

The phone itself is unlocked, and it’s up to you how you want to fit it into your lifestyle. Some users swap their existing SIM between their phones, other prefer a unique number for each phone, and most of our users use the Light Phone II as their primary phone, often with a much cheaper service plan.

The phone uses a unique electronic paper screen, a technology also found in popular e-readers. This does not emit any blue light like traditional backlit screens. It’s visible in direct sunlight and limited to black and white, intentionally.

The Light Phone II is built around a user-customizable menu of tools. All of the tools are custom-designed for our LightOS to ensure a thoughtful, and private user experience. Available tools currently include an alarm, a calculator, directions, a simple music player, notes/voice memo, calendar and a podcasts tool.

Important: this phone will not function outside of the US.
