Meet The Cookie · Coming soon
Our cookie eatsscreen time.
The Cookie sits on the table and turns putting your phone down into a game. Tap in, play for the fewest pickups, and get the whole night back.
Coming soon. Be first in line.
Made for time together
The best part is already at the table.
The Cookie isn't really about phones. It's about being present in the moment with your favorite people. The Cookie just makes it easier to give that time a fair shot.
Dinner
Prove your parents wrong: you can have dinner without the phone.
Game night
Turns come round faster when nobody is mid-scroll. The rounds keep moving and the trash talk keeps up.
Catching up
An hour with one friend, actually spent on the friend. The kind of catch-up that entails, you know, catching up.
How it works
Phones down. Game on.
Play for fewest pickups
Every pickup counts, and the whole table shares one leaderboard. The Cookie keeps score, so nobody has to play phone police.
Actually be present
No scrolling, no “sorry, what was that?” Just longer stories, louder laughs and a night you’ll actually remember.

Leaderboard
Last place still had a great night.
Putting your phone down is much easier when it's a game instead of a rule. Everyone in the session shares one leaderboard, and the fewest pickups takes the top spot.
Loser pays for dinner, does a dare, or just takes the loss. Your Cookie, your rules. We're just keeping score.
| Rank | Friend | Pickups |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nahia | 0 |
| 2 | Mark | 1 |
| 3 | Ash | 3 |
| 4 | Carson | 4 |
| 5 | June | 6 |
Rally mode
For when the table goes quiet.
Every night has a lull. The Cookie can intelligently sense a spike in phone activity, and with Rally mode on, it revives the table for another round of fun.
Rally Mode is a configurable feature with different levels. From "Off" to "Wild", users can set how they want their Cookie to chime in.

FAQs
Questions?
We have answers.
The Cookie looks simple but packs many suprises! We hope to eliminate that surprise factor with our answers here.
What is The Cookie?
A small physical product from Modem that you put on the table when you are with people. Everyone taps their phone to the top to join a session, and the group shares a leaderboard for the fewest pickups.
How many people can connect simultaneously?
The Cookie supports up to 6 simultaneous connections
How does a session start?
Tap your phone to the top of The Cookie, if a session is active you simply join in. If there is no ongoing session, a new one begins.
Do I need an app?
Yes, in order to connect to The Cookie you will need our free companion app. Simply tap your phone to any Cookie to be directed to a download.
Does everyone have to follow the same rules?
No. Each person sets their own notification preferences, so you and the friend across the table can be set up differently and still share the same session.
What exactly happens to my phone during a session?
Nothing changes about how your phone works. The Cookie never takes anything away from you. It keeps score of pickups for the leaderboard, and lights up in your color when a notification you have allowed comes through. Putting the phone down is up to you and the people at the table.
How does the leaderboard work?
Everyone in the session shares one leaderboard, ranked by pickups. Fewest pickups takes the top spot. A pickup is counted any time you wake your phone during a session.
What is Rally mode?
A feature designed to reignite conversation at the table. The Cookie can intelligently determine when the group's phone activity is spiking. Once a spike is detected and Rally Mode is enabled, The Cookie will pulse and send an identical notifcation to all users.
Can I buy one?
We love your excitement! Unfortunately, not yet as The Cookie is not currently for sale. We intend to sell it in the future, and the quickest way to hear about that is to leave your email below.
Which phones work with The Cookie?
Currently we support the latest iOS devices with no current plans for Android support.
Can I still be reached during a session?
You configure what can notify you during setup and can be changed whenever not in a session. The Cookie will light up with your color when an allowed notification reaches you.
Can I leave a session early?
Leaving a session is as simple as tapping once more. If you forget to tap out before departing, your phone drops out of the session on its own.
