BURNR is the dumb phone for smart people.

There is a mental health epidemic and the smartphone is not helping things.

My name is Stuart Semple and I am an artist

Lately, I’ve become super tuned into a mental health crisis that’s affecting all of us particularly young people.

A close teen family member of mine has been having an awful time and it became clear that her smartphone was a cause of a lot of the drama. 

I knew I had to do something so I've made BURNR.

It has everything you need and nothing you don't to stay connected but not distracted and isolated.

My vision is to make BURNR the cool alternative to staring at the smartphone.

No longer obsessing about the latest update and the effect the constant scrolling is having on our identity and well being.

I want you to come on this journey as I try and make a dent in the teenage mental health crisis.

You get the sickest dumb phone ever created. It's robust, waterproof and has a battery to last you through the weekend.

No internet

Every BURNR sold means a donation to STEM 4 teen mental health charity

If you contribute you will be one of the first people on the planet to have the BURNR

Making a dumb phone this sick is hard, to do this we need your help. 

We have a manufacturing partner and R&D team to make the electronics. Ready to make the phone with us. 

There’s loads to pay for to get it just right.  Here are a few bits and pieces that your cash will make possible:

Licences for the operating system, PTCRB Certification Process, testing and certification for the battery and waterproof IP, developing the custom motherboard and tooling for the case.

I'm not asking for people to replace their Smartphones.

All I want is for people, (and teenagers especially) to just put the Smartphone down for an evening/a day/maybe even longer to help reset their relationship with social media, the screen and ultimately themselves.

You will be part of this brave new vision.

Where we begin to connect again.

And live our lives in the moment.

As far as production is concerned making a brand new phone may sound like a big deal.

And if we wern't working with a partner who had done this before then we'd be a little uneasy.

Luckily we've made a lot of products before and got them into the hands of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. 

Of course, there's always the potential for the unexpected to happen. We've got an amazing team and we will overcome any obstacle. Of course, we will keep you posted every step of the way. 

Before we press the button on production we will have a full working prototype that we will share with you too!

Of course, we know not everyone has the spare cash to help but they may also just love what we're trying to do. 

We understand this. There can't be a person on the planet that hasn't been affected by our relationship with the Smartphone. 

You can still help by getting our story out there. 

Tell people about what we're doing, when you hear someone is having a hard time tell them they can ease their stress with BURNR.
