Not a new rec bc I downloaded it when ayo recommended it in the 'sletter this past summer, but this app has truly changed the way I use my phone. As a very phone-addicted person, it's one of the only things that has made a tangible dent in not only my screen time but also my approach to social media. It's a simple concept (literally just wait a sec before you open instagram or w/e) but this shit really works.

it's this app where you can create a shortcut on whichever app(s) you want (i.e. social media ones you spend too much time on), and every time you open those apps, it makes you wait like 10 seconds and shows you how many times you've opened that app in the last 24 hours. has literally cut my social media usage by nearly half and makes me way more intentional about social media use bc half the time i'm opening those apps out of habit.

this app has reduced my screen time so much and it’s the only (actually) free one I can find in the app store

a friend just messaged me “you and your apps, you should have an app to recommend all your apps” and I realised that yeah I really do love a good app.
I may do separate posts for apps in the future, but apart from the obvious ones (Insta, Spotify etc) here are some of my favourites:
PI.FYI
Notion
Letterboxd
Natural Cycles
Planta
Shuffles
Swipewipe
Borrow Box

Substack (love substack notes as a Twitter abstainer)

Really poignant and funny short film by one of the internet's best performance artists—a sympathetic portrait of a weirdo failure obsessed with Who's Line is it Anyway

Finally got around to it after everyone in the world telling me to check it out. So goated I really get it. Southern gothic, plus matthew mcconaughey alternating between incredibly hot and looking so crazy. Wondering if season 2 holds up the standard.
