What Mudita Harmony 2 and Bell 2 is
Mudita makes two E Ink bedside alarm clocks: the Harmony 2 at $169 and the Bell 2 at $79. Mudita presents the Harmony 2 as everything needed for a bedtime routine without a smartphone. Its battery lasts up to 45 days, and it has nature sounds, a meditation timer and a bedtime reminder. Neither clock blocks anything. They remove the excuse that the phone has to be by the bed because it is the alarm.
What moss is
moss is an iPhone app that comes with a small physical stone. You choose the apps that distract you, tap your phone on the stone, and those apps stay locked until you tap the stone again. People who live together can link their phones to share schedules and put their phones down at the same time, while each person keeps control of their own phone. Locking is free in the app, the stone is a one-time purchase, and the household features are a paid add-on.
