SLEKE. is a company which makes a smartphone operating system (we call it OdysseyOS) designed to give people a phone curated for everyday life. The operating system provides features and applications focused solely on tools for communication and daily utility. You'll find no games, web browsing, or multimedia apps – just features which support you while you engage in real life.
Our goal is to make you feel equipped for success as you navigate life in our digitally connected world, but to only provide you with enough tools to interact seamlessly with your surroundings - nothing more.
You (or someone you know), if you (or they) are looking for a solution which purposefully limits the functionality of the smartphone without overdoing the restrictions.
We distinguish ourselves by dedicating significant time to identifying the 'Goldilocks zone' of functionality. We believe we have discovered an optimal set of features and guiding principles that deliver just the right amount of functionality to our phone users, without overwhelming them and detracting from their real-life experiences. To interact seamlessly with the world, a smartphone must support a core range of features without excess. However, most mobile phones today either offer too much functionality—beyond what we consider essential—or too little, leaving users under-equipped to engage effectively with their surroundings.
$333 - available only for the first 100 beta testers, using our operating system pre-loaded onto an upcycled Google Pixel 5.
Studies show that when an app is deleted, many people re-download it as soon as they experience a bit of boredom. Or they log-in through the web browser thus still having access to the same content.
The choice is yours! We find that folks who use our phone save an average of 4 hours per day. That's about 120 hours a month! What would you do with that much time?
