In this episode of Tek With Josh, I explore the growing appeal of minimalist tech and distraction-free devices. From phones designed to do less on purpose to hardware that brings back physical keyboards, notification lights, and a more intentional relationship with technology, this conversation is about reclaiming focus in a world built to pull at our attention.

We talk about why modern smartphones make it so easy to slip back into old habits, how features like signal LEDs and tactile keyboards once helped us stay present, and whether today’s minimalist devices can realistically fit into modern life. This isn’t about rejecting technology, but about using it with more awareness and control.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant notifications, endless apps, or the pressure to always be online, this episode is a quiet reflection on what technology could look like when it serves us instead of distracting us.
