The Morning After: Finding fun and relaxation in the middle of CES 2025

The world’s biggest tech show is approaching its end, and it’s been hard. Mostly. But it’s not without its perks. Perhaps you got to sit in and experience the first CES press event inside the fully screened Sphere, or maybe you’re getting a lovely facial treatment that combines cooling plates with LED light therapy, creating photos that will haunt you for the rest of your professional career? Or perhaps you’re fleeing the violence and… fungi of The Last of Us universe in an immersive experience. (Work hard, play harder.)

Astrohaus has been making its “distraction-free writing tools” under the Freewrite name for about a decade. Until now, they were standalone single-purpose devices simply for drafting text, but the Freewrite Wordrunner is a keyboard designed specifically with writers in mind.
