BYOK: A $199 Distraction-Free Writing Tool That Does Almost Nothing
BYOK is a $199 black plastic device with a low-resolution LCD screen designed for distraction-free writing. It allows basic text editing and nothing else, targeting writers who want to avoid digital interruptions. The device requires users to bring their own keyboard, hence the name Bring Your Own Keyboard.

While BYOK's minimalism is its selling point, the high price for a device that does less than a $30 typewriter raises questions about its value proposition.
