About offhours

Own your
off hours.

offhours is a small team with one idea: the hours outside work should belong to you, not to your phone. NOCTIS is our first product.

The phone ended up in the one room we wanted to switch off in.

Most of us take our phone to bed. We set an alarm, and an hour later we're still scrolling. The phone is our alarm, our radio and our last scroll of the day.

We wanted the useful parts of that phone, without the part that keeps you awake.

Survey figures describe people in general, not NOCTIS owners.

Four rules.
Every decision.

Calm by default.

If something doesn't help you sleep, wake well or start your day, it doesn't belong on the bedside. NOCTIS has no feeds, no social apps and no notifications.

Private where it counts.

Microphone audio is processed on the device itself, and conversations aren't stored. Snore clips are saved only if you choose to turn that on.

Honest about what it is.

Sleep and snoring figures are estimates, not measurements, and NOCTIS isn't a medical device. It is still in development, so we say “planned” and “may change” until it's true.

Made from what already exists.

The case is 3D-printed from recycled plastic filament, and NOCTIS ships in recycled packaging.

A working
prototype.

We're building the waitlist so we know who to tell first, and we'll confirm the final specifications before orders open. Joining is free, with no deposit and no commitment.
