moss vs Bagby Phone Sleeping Bag
A $15 to $18 fabric bag you tuck your phone into at night, with no lock.
Checked 11 November 2026 against Bagby's own pages. We make moss, so we have linked every source below.
What Bagby Phone Sleeping Bag is
The Bagby ORIGINAL is a small fabric "sleeping bag" for a phone. It costs $15 to $18 depending on the version and was in stock when we checked. You put the phone to bed in it at night, which keeps it out of sight and turns bedtime into a small ritual. There is no lock, no timer and no app. Taking the phone out again is all it takes.
What moss is
moss is an iPhone app that comes with a small physical stone. You choose the apps that distract you, tap your phone on the stone, and those apps stay locked until you tap the stone again. People who live together can link their phones to share schedules and put their phones down at the same time, while each person keeps control of their own phone. Locking is free in the app, the stone is a one-time purchase, and the household features are a paid add-on.
