WELCOME TO DIGITS // EST. 2026

A phone that's
just a phone.

A callback to analog in a digital world.

Encrypted voice calls for kids. Real handset. Mechanical bell. No screen. No surveillance. Just talk.

A cherry red touch-tone telephone

We handed our kids the most powerful computers in human history. And called them phones.

Digits is a physical retro telephone with end-to-end encrypted voice calls over the internet. No screen. No apps. No algorithm. Connect families you trust, and your kids can call each other. A mechanical bell that rings when someone wants to talk. Everything else, stripped away.

When your kid says something dumb or embarrassing to a friend, that should evaporate into the air where it belongs. Instead it becomes a screenshot. A forwarded message. Something that follows them for years. Digits is a return to conversations that disappear when they are over, because that was always how it was supposed to work.

"An entire generation is growing up without ever making a phone call."

Built different. By design.

E2E Encrypted

DTLS-SRTP, the same standard as Signal and FaceTime. We can't listen. Nobody can.

⚔

Hardware Kill Switch

Handset on cradle = mic physically disconnected. No firmware update can change this.

🚫

No Call Logs

When you hang up, the conversation ceases to exist. No recording. No transcript.

šŸ“‹

Family Network Only

Connect with families you trust. Your kids can call them, and only them. No strangers, no discovery.

šŸ’°

No Subscription

Buy hardware once. Own it forever. Free hosted server included.

šŸ 

Self-Hostable

Open source Go server runs on a Raspberry Pi. If we disappear, your phones keep working.
