About PauseGadget

PauseGadget is an independent guide to pausing your gadgets without quitting technology. It covers three ways to do it: simplify the phone you have, move one task to a better tool, or switch to a simpler phone. Each guide says what the step hides, what it costs, and what you lose. How to make your phone less distracting walks every step in order, from free settings to a dumbphone.

Finn Albar

Finn edits PauseGadget, writes the guides, reviews, and comparisons, and keeps the phone catalog behind the Dumbphone Finder. The site started as a personal list of phones that could replace a smartphone without replacing a life, and it still runs that way: one editor, one catalog, and no sponsored placements.

How the data is checked

Every phone in the Dumbphone Finder has one record: network, form factor, apps, features, price, and where it is sold. The same record feeds the spec blocks and comparison tables in articles, so a correction in one place updates every page. Records are rechecked against the maker's site. A phone that is no longer sold new stays in the Finder, marked unavailable and listed last.

Corrections

If a spec, price, or availability note is wrong, the fix goes into the catalog and every page that uses it updates on the next build. Send corrections through the Contact page with a link to the official source. Each article shows the date it was last updated.

How PauseGadget is funded

PauseGadget earns from display advertising and from affiliate links on Buy buttons. Affiliate links never change which phones are listed or how they are ranked. See the Disclaimer.
