screentime but if it it was harder to dismiss and literally forced you to think about why you’re opening your apps. i used it in college while writing my thesis so i wouldn’t procrastinate! i’ve recommended this quite a few times on here and IRL and i think it works for almost every person

this app has changed my life it’s the only thing that’s legitimately worked for controlling my screen time
essentially it lets you assign time limits to certain apps, as well as a limit on how many times a day you can open them. for instance, my limits for instagram are ten times a day, for ten minutes at a time.
the apps are locked by default which forces you to be more intentional every time you do open it.
highly recommend, i’ve been using for almost a month and my screen time is down by HALF!!!

regain your time. screenzen allows you to create very detailed limits and schedules for your app usage. for example i only let myself open instagram 5 times a day for 5 minutes at a time. I only let myself access podcasts on the weekends (to create more time for quality music listening.)
our time and attention is the most valuable thing in the world and its absurd to think our will power is stronger than our phone addictions.
once youre free from the distractions you can do anything!!!

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on

a million times cooler than the lackluster “sleek” tech color palette used today
