About
Simple things should be simple. That’s the whole idea.
Knob and Dial is a catalog of beautifully made things that work without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an app or an account. We don’t sell anything. We find it, check it, and point you to where you can buy it.
Why Knob and Dial
Everything got connected. Nothing got simpler.
So we list the opposite.
Overconnected
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an app and an account, added to things that never needed them.
Overcomplicated
Pairing screens and menus where a knob used to be. Simple things should be simple to use.
Not made to last
If it needs an update every few months to keep working, it stops working when the updates do.
More about Knob and Dial
Who runs it
Knob and Dial is an independent project by Arsenio Aaron. Every product is researched and checked by hand against the Offline Standard before it’s listed.
No commissions
