The inspiration to build Focus Guard came after looking at my own phone use statistics, mainly from social media apps. When i broke down the time I spent using Youtube & Instagram for the intended functionality of - messaging my friends, posting media, watching what my friends are up to versus wasting my time doom-scrolling I realized there was a big skew in how productively I was spending my time. Then came the day I came across a website that calculated the amount of years I would end up spending on my phone if i keep using it at the same rate. I realized that something had to change, that I had to change. This is when I realized that I just needed a better relationship with my social media apps. Therein lied the answer to my problems, Iif i removed the addictive part of the apps then my problems would disappear. I went to the process of making this app when i realized traditional barriers to social media usage and restrictions did not work due to the design of how it relies on the user itself to follow through and enforce the self-imposed limit.
