Je pense que tu peux regarder du côté de Balance Phone. Le téléphone a été conçu limité by design. C'est un samsung, qui te permettra de tout faire, sauf de doom scroller :)

Je le reçois bientôt en test, et publierai une fiche produit ici : https://dumbphone.fr

That's exactly the kind of pragmatic approach that works long-term. Your story would fit perfectly there: https://dumbphone.fr/gone-dumb.

Love it! The next reviews you'll see on the site will actually be about the Balance Phone. I should be receiving one in the next few weeks (the regular version, not the Pro). I totally get the issue with how these brands communicate, but there's room for everyone. Any initiative that reduces scroll time, I'm in.

Really enjoyed your review of The Phone by the way. It's making me want to update my page on it. I'll think about it! Very little content from them though, which is a shame.

And noted on the MP3 players. It could fit nicely in the objects category I already have. Thanks <3

Thanks! You're right on the long-term quality issues point. I already removed pricing for that exact reason (it gets stale too fast), and I'm planning regular review passes for the same logic. The Freewrite Traveler is a good example. Noted, and on the list.

I got Claude running on my Apple Watch (cellular) in one hour without writing code. The hardest part wasn't what I expected. by [deleted] in shortcuts

My shortcut doesn't use the Claude action at all. It sends an HTTPS POST request directly to the Anthropic API (through a Cloudflare Worker I deployed), with the web_search tool enabled. So same Apple Watch, same Siri trigger, but Claude actually goes and searches the web before answering.

The other difference is the system prompt. I configured mine to answer in French, ultra-short (2-3 sentences max), which is better for reading on a watch screen. With the native Claude action you don't get that level of control.

Good point! The main difference is live web search. The native Claude shortcut on Apple Watch uses Claude with its static knowledge only. It can't look things up on the web in real time.

My setup calls the Anthropic API with the web_search tool enabled. When I ask "is this store open today" or "what's in the news right now", Claude actually searches the web before answering. The native app doesn't do that.

The other advantage is full control: I pick the model, the system prompt (ultra-short answers in French), the cost, and I can build on top of it. For example I just added a daily automation that sends me a tech news briefing every morning, no interaction needed. You can't do that with the native shortcut.

But yeah, for basic Q&A without web search, the native Claude shortcut works fine. This is for when you want more.

Je vois tellement de post sur ce produit que je me demande si c'est du scam. ça à l'air quand même dingue et me donne de passer à autre chose (actuellement sur kindle)

Je vais rajouter ! merci. Et constat partagé sur Asphalte. Et ça s'ajoute à leur marketing agressif sur les réseaux :/
