Trying to cut down unintentional phone usage. I tend to open some apps on my phone reflexively (mail, Reddit, Mastodon) and doom scroll without even realising what I am doing.
Found this app (iChooseTo on #android) that puts a delay in app launch. Now all my apps have a 10 seconds waiting period where I get to think, do I really need to use this app right now?
It's been working great!
