kaiZen is the only Android screen-time app that cannot be bypassed. Quit phone addiction and reclaim your freedom. You don't need a dumbphone, just kaiZen.
As counterintuitive as it may sound, I really believe it's easier when you don't get to choose. Because instead of being conflicted with "what is better", your only choice is to adapt. And in my experience, we're exceptional at that.
This is the basis of kaiZen. After countless attempts to reduce my screen time with half-measures (e.g.: deleting apps just to reinstall them, setting app blockers that I simply removed when I lost motivation) and noticing so many people struggle with this, I and a friend decided to take our shot at finding a solution.
"in the eleventh hour, a real solution to excessive screen time emerged" (brilliant writing)
The premise is extremely simple. kaiZen allows you to only use apps inside the whitelist and nothing else. The "catch" is that, when you inevitably lose motivation, you can't just remove it. Instead, you must wait a specific time, which you yourself choose (ranging from a few days to 30 days). So... Maps? Yes! Instagram? No. WhatsApp? Yes! TikTok? No...
And after a few painful days, you actually realize it's not that bad, actually, it's pretty nice and can really get used to it. Except, of course, you suddenly have a lot more free time.
If you are curious about any specifics, feel free to ask. If not, I'm really curious what is your opinion about my initial paragraph. See ya!
