GoKawiilFreckle unveils screen-free kids' phone built around outdoor quests and walkie-talkie mode
A company called Freckle has launched a phone designed for children that strips out internet browsing and app stores in favor of tactile buttons, a walkie-talkie feature, and outdoor 'quests' meant to encourage play away from screens. Co-founder Sam Terris said the device draws on his own childhood spent playing outdoors in Concord, Massachusetts, which he credits with shaping his development.
