Phoney™ is a bilingual (English & Spanish) phone-hiding tool designed for parents of babies and toddlers.
It looks like a book, but its primary purpose is to keep your phone out of sight while remaining within reach. A discreet pocket in the back allows parents to store their phone, reducing how much children see screen use during everyday moments.
As a secondary function, Phoney includes engaging, child-friendly pages featuring farm animals with playful illustrations, sound-inspired prompts, and a simple sensory activity. If a child wanders over, parents can choose how to engage — by naming animals, practicing sounds, exploring the sensory activity, or allowing independent exploration.
Phoney offers gentle, optional ways to redirect attention from screens to interaction, without pressure or guilt.
