screenless

Lacking visual output

Screenless describes something without a display screen, or an experience that doesn't involve looking at screens.

A screenless device might use voice or physical controls instead of a visual interface.

Screenless activities like hiking or reading physical books offer respite from digital life: We're trying to have more screenless time as a family.
