About Sable Lake
Our phones had become the first thing we reached for in the morning and the last thing we looked at before sleep. The constant pull of notifications, the endless scroll, the nagging feeling of missing something important—it was exhausting.
We're not looking for an alternative to technology—we're looking for a complement. Digital tools have value, but so does the offline world.
So we began asking questions. What would it look like to be more intentional about our information diet? Could we design products that nudged us toward the physical world? What if spending less time on screens didn't mean missing out, but actually gaining something back?
Sable Lake is our answer to those questions.
What We Do
We design offline products that help you step away from screens. We're starting with paper products and pocket books—tools that replace digital habits with something more tangible. More products coming soon.
We also write. Our articles explore research on attention and digital wellbeing. We review books that have shaped our thinking. And we're building a collection of practical resources for anyone trying to find their own balance.

What's Next
We're not interested in being purists or dogmatic about any of this. You won't find us preaching about "digital detoxes" or claiming screens are evil. Life is complicated, and so is our relationship with technology.
What we are interested in is creating alternatives. Real, useful, beautiful alternatives that make it just a little bit easier to choose paper over pixels, presence over perpetual connectivity.
If that sounds like something you need too, we're glad you're here.
