@askcatgpt I’m sending out a batch of methaphones to people who have ideas for (safe) social experiments they’d like to run with them— break it out on the subway? Show it to a 5 year old? Replace your phone for a week? The only catch is that you have to write or document your experience in a post online (e.g. blog post, medium, substack, YouTube, tikTok, Ig, etc) The goal is to keep the conversation going. If you’re interested, fill out the super short survey at the link in my bio! Let’s keep the conversation going! #tech #methaphone ♬ original sound - Noah Kahan

It all started with this video that went viral on TikTok, Instagram and X.

Leave your phone without the cravings or withdrawal

We carry our phones everywhere. It feels strange and unsettling when we can't feel them. We twitch, worried we've lost something.

For 50 years, heroin addicts have used methadone to help break their addiction. Now you can step down your dependency on your mobile device with this: methaphone.

methaphone can help you manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It can fill that hole in your back pocket. It can fill that hole in your hand. Opioid addicts have used methadone to help step down from dependency, and now you have this. 

methaphone looks like a simple acrylic slab — and it is. But it's also a stand-in, a totem, and an alibi. It's the first step on the road to freedom.

Take it instead of your phone. Let it ride along in you jacket or your jeans. If you're anxious, rub the surface with your thumb. When you need to avert your gaze, it's there for you to pull out to look through.

Features

  1. Translucent by design
    Light and imagination pass through it uninterrupted

  2. Fully compatible with innate curiosity

  3. Do Not Disturb reimagined from the ground up

We also will be shipping limited editions in NEON pink and NEON green once methaphones are back in stock.
