Brass Dial

Walnut Desk Studio Apps

About this app

Brass Dial brings the charm of a classic rotary telephone to your Android phone.

Designed with a vintage brass-and-wood style, Brass Dial turns everyday dialing into something more tactile, nostalgic, and satisfying. Rotate the dial, hear the mechanical clicks, feel the old telephone rhythm, and enjoy a slower, more deliberate way to place a call.

For the duration of the World Cup, Brass Dial now includes a special national team mode. Choose your country and give your rotary dial a bold flag-inspired background while you make your calls.

Brass Dial includes classic rotary dialing, vintage sound and vibration effects, silent mode, contact lookup previews, and a growing set of collectible phone styles.


Features include:

• Beautiful retro brass rotary dial design
• Realistic rotary-style dial movement
• Mechanical click and return sounds
• Optional contact lookup with a Mini Rolodex-style suggestion card
• Substring number matching to help find contacts while dialing
• Flip-through contact suggestions
• Simple dial, correct, and call controls
• Settings screen with a classic premium warranty-card style preview

Brass Dial is designed as a practical dialer with a vintage personality. It does not replace your phone app completely, but gives you a characterful alternative when you want the look and feel of an old rotary telephone.

The app may request access to your contacts so it can show matching contact suggestions while you dial. Contact information is used on your device for lookup only and is not sold or shared.

Brass Dial is part of the Walnut Desk Studio collection of retro-inspired mobile tools.

What’s new
