For the calls you keep putting off
Plugbelle
A lamp for every call you can make right now.
The clinic, the bank, the building office, a plumber, a relative abroad. Each call takes three minutes, but only while they are open. Plugbelle keeps those calls on a 1950s switchboard and lights a lamp when the other side can actually pick up.
How the lamps read
Turquoise — open, call now
Amber, blinking — closing or lunch break soon
Pink — a public holiday there today
Dark — closed, the plate says when they open
Who it is for
Anyone who keeps a household's errands moving. You remember the call at 12:55, the clinic is out for lunch until two, at two you are in a meeting, and at five they have just closed. Plugbelle works out the timing so you only pick up the phone when someone can answer.
What it does
The switchboard
Every call is a jack. Its lamp comes from their opening hours, lunch break, public holidays and time zone. Drag the cord into a jack to connect.
The Round
Turn the timer dial to the minutes you have. Only lit lamps join, starting with whoever closes first.
One-tap outcomes
Got through, no answer, call back later or a new number. Missed calls move to the hour that number usually answers.
Hours in two taps
Presets such as weekdays 9–18 with lunch 13–14, a week editor, or a lookup in OpenStreetMap.
Holidays abroad
Public holidays for dozens of countries, including a built-in calendar for Azerbaijan.
Journal and bells
Finished calls with what was said, and an optional bell when a lamp lights up.
