More and more people are going back to dumbphones, not because they miss old technology, but because they want to use their phone on purpose. A square screen is a good excuse to rethink the whole idea. No endless scroll, no tall feed, a format that pushes you toward one thing at a time. Mammouth AI commissioned me to design an OS for exactly that.

Glance OS keeps what makes a phone useful while dropping what makes it addictive. The interface is built for quick, deliberate checks: you look, you get what you need, you put it down. AI does the filtering and the summarizing in the background, so the phone stays connected and capable without asking for your attention all day.

I designed the interaction model, the core screens and the visual language for the square format.
