Fairphone Moments: Switch to a smarter way to disconnect

Fairphone Moments: Switch to a smarter way to disconnect

Smartphones have become the remote controls of our lives. They keep us informed, connected, entertained, but also, let’s be honest, distracted. As much as technology empowers us, it can just as easily overwhelm us. That’s why with The Fairphone (Gen. 6), we’re introducing something new: Fairphone Moments.

Moments is our take at Fairphone on digital wellness. It combines a clean, intuitive software experience with a simple, physical shortcut button, because sometimes the smartest way to use your phone is to step away from it.

A button that puts you first

At the heart of Moments is a very simple idea: you should be able to decide what your phone does, and when. On The Fairphone (Gen. 6), we’ve introduced a new programmable button on the right side of the phone. It’s yours to customize, and when paired with Moments, it becomes your shortcut to focus.

With just one press, your Fairphone can:

  • Enter Do Not Disturb mode instantly
  • Launch a specific routine like quiet time, walking mode, or sleep
  • Mute notifications while still letting you capture that sunset

Whether you’re reading a book, enjoying dinner with friends, or just going offline for a while, the power to disconnect is literally at your fingertips.

Designed for digital wellbeing

We believe your phone shouldn’t compete for your attention. That’s why Fairphone Moments is built to support mindful tech use, not screen addiction.

This is not about limitations. It’s about setting intentions, giving you the control to be present when it matters most.

In a world of infinite scroll and non-stop alerts, Moments helps you define your own boundaries, enabling better balance and healthier habits.

Wellness that extends beyond the user

At Fairphone, we’ve always said we’re not just building better phones, we’re building phones that are better for everyone.

Fairphone Moments is an extension of that mission.

  • It’s better for the user, offering more mindful tech.
  • It’s better for the planet, as The Fairphone (Gen. 6) is designed to last, built with more than 50% fair and recycled materials.
  • And it’s better for the people throughout our value chain. From miners and factory workers to repairers and recyclers, because ethical sourcing and fair labour are central to how we operate.

Technology should empower people, not control them. That includes the people who make it, and the people who use it.

A different kind of smartphone experience

Fairphone Moments is just one example of how we’re rethinking what a smartphone can be, not just in terms of specs and materials, but in how it fits into your daily life.

Because a truly fair phone doesn’t just last longer or use fair materials. It also supports how you want to live. And sometimes, that means putting it down. 📵✨

🟢 Let’s make smartphones smarter. For us, for the planet, for the future.

Will the moments functionality also be extended in some form to earlier generation Fairphones?

Echt een fantastische move! Technologie is hier om te blijven en te veranderen en innoveren, maar zo tof dat jullie dit op een duurzame en verantwoorde manier dien, met ook echt oog voor de mentale gezondheid van de gebruiker!!

Raymond van Eck The only thing that could possibly top this would be a dual-screen setup, one e-ink (disconnect mode) and the other full-colour (LTPO, connect mode). I realise the technology isn’t quite there yet, but hey, a person can dream.
