Full disclaimer.
Most phone “addiction” is design. The fix is also design: add friction where you scroll and remove friction where you live.
Make scrolling harder
- Remove social apps from home screen.
- Log out of one app.
- Turn off badges.
Make useful habits easier
- Put Calendar, Notes, Banking on the first screen.
- Add a quick capture widget.
Try this: One “no phone while eating” rule.
