My iphone battery died and instead of getting the latest and greatest I got a Punkt phone. Best decision I ever made, I got my life back.
Interesting. How are you dealing with cases when you need a navigation like Waze or Google Maps? Navigation apps are my main obstacles for trying a "dumbphone".
Genuine question, I also like to use my smartphone less, but what about when you are in the lavatory? I have a habit of using my smartphone else I cannot go. Has anyone been able to solve that?

Looks interesting. Any tips for using it effectively? What's it been most helpful with?
I pick up my phone to check email a lot, then go onto other useless apps. By catching email usage, I also stop myself going on the rest.
I like the idea, congrats on the launch! One feature request: instead of giving me a freeform field to enter "why", give me a few of common uses cases as options like: - Picking up the phone for real use (order, cab, call etc) - For social connection - For mindless scrolling overtime you can plot why the phone was picked
Love the idea, is there an iOS version planned?
Check out ScreenZen, it doesn’t work with general unlocks but you can set it to add similar mindfulness reminders for specific apps or categories of apps. Been using it a few weeks and a fan.
it's pretty easy to work around but all I generally need is something to knock me out of my flow.
Like the ones you share location with
Keep you accountable more than reflexively remembering the override pattern
Has to be at the OS level so that everyone already has it

I usually just delete the app if it's dominating my time on the phone or drawing me to it.

I've realized recently that it takes at least 3 times more work and time to do things on a smartphone than to do the same things on a laptop. This holds true for messaging apps where we are so limited by the typing speed and error-prone nature of composing messages on a smartphone, and the lack of good multitasking options like on a desktop interface. I have more time in my life now, more than ever, after I started to avoid using my phone for things wherever I can.
To login to my work Microsoft account requires a passcode and then three face scans.

My own strategy is to simply use pi-hole to block time-wasting websites entirely. It's kind of a sledgehammer, but it works for me.
