Balance Phone is a Barcelona-based startup that sells a minimalist smartphone and a proprietary Balance OS which blocks social media, streaming, games, news, betting and adult-content while keeping essential apps (messaging, music, banking, mobility, health). Founded from the founders' personal experience with mobile overuse, the company offers two devices (Balance Phone and Balance Phone Pro) and a Balance OS subscription that replaces the original phone OS to enforce limits. The startup reports early traction—several thousand devices sold across 50+ countries—and positions itself in the digital-wellbeing / mindful-tech niche with strong parental-control use cases. Balance Phone raised a small friends-and-family financing round (~€100k) in April 2024 and has been actively campaigning to scale in the UK and other markets.
