Balance Phone – Product Design for a Minimal OS

Jilles ~

Verified

Balance OSA calmer operating system, built for focus.
What I did
Product design for Balance Phone, a new kind of phone designed to reduce screen time and create healthier digital habits. I focused on interface clarity, onboarding flow, mode switching, and subtle visual direction choices that made the product feel focused.
The goal
Design an interface that feels effortless to use. Clean structure, no distractions, just the essentials. Everything from the color themes to the blocking logic was built with one goal: help people feel more in control of phone.
No dopamine traps. No endless feeds. This wasn’t about adding more, it was about removing the noise.
