You could at least have named the prior art you appreciated and pictured, but I'll just link to its Amazon page: Kitchen Safe Time Locking Container (Medium), Timed Lock Box for Cell Phones, Snacks, and other unwanted temptations (White Lid + 5.5” White Base) https://a.co/d/d62NlvL

Thanks! Appreciate the product link here. I'm a big fan of these as well, just not the form-factor

What if you get a call? Not knowing who is calling would be frustrating. Knowing would possibly be even worse.

I think there's a spectrum of tech reduction tools, from a soft block (e.g. Freedom.to) and leading to the hard block (Intent Case)

For some folks always being connected is a hard and fast product requirement, but others are happy to forgo an urgent call. Note that a generation ago, any trip away from the house required you to accept that you wouldn't be available for a call
