Creator of Moment for iOS here, the app that tracks how much you're on your phone. 3.0 is out with two big features: The ability to track what individual apps you use the most (my #1 most requested feature) and a coach to train yourself to use your phone less. The app use tracking breaks down where you spent your screen time that day almost automatically. The Coach starts with a 14-day Phone Bootcamp. Every morning, you'll get a somewhat difficult exercise to do to rethink your phone habits, like "No phone in the bathroom today."" At the end of the two weeks, you'll hopefully question some of your bad habits and have some mental tools to resist your phone. Let me know what questions you have!

@kevinholesh very cool! People always end up using battery usage as the measure, which of course, "penalizes" battery efficient apps. Something like this should be standard in iOS! 👍

@nivo0o0 @kevinholesh As far as I can see, this uses battery use as well. in fact, the whole daily screenshot process of battery use seems an incredibly clunky solution. I am going to try this for a while, but I've disabled the app tracking feature, too much friction.

@kevinholesh @frassmith @nivo0o0 Yep, I'm giving it a try but definitely not what i though I was getting when I reinstalled this app.

@andym_dc @frassmith @nivo0o0 Sorry that wasn't clear. It is a clunky solution compared to something completely automatic, but it's the only one possible withtin Apple's rules.

This is really cool, a lot of people have been asking for phone tracking for gyrosco.pe/app this might be it if they have an API.

@myusuf3 Thanks! Love the Gyroscope app. No API in Moment right now, but you can export all of your data (settings > Advanced > Export Data).
Daniel Schwartz
@kevinholesh @myusuf3 +1 for a Gyroscope integration/API. This would very nicely round out productivity numbers if layered in with RescueTime.

@kevinholesh @myusuf3 Two geniuses collaborating! Love it!

Much more useful than Pokemon go, thanks!

@roberthopman Certainly less entertaining though. So far, 17% of the people using app tracking have installed Pokémon GO and they use it for an average of 56 minutes a day. That's more than Facebook (avg 35 min/day) and Messages (avg 20 min/day) combined. Not bad for an app that didn't exist last week. 🤗

To no one's surpise, the most used app so far is Pokémon GO. Yesterday, it was used more than Facebook and Messages combined. 56M on average.

Awesome! How did you do that app tracking? Was that enabled by iOS 9.0?

@golear This feature was enabled by iOS 9, but not via a direct API. First thing in the morning, Moment reminds you to take a screenshot of the Battery screen inside the Settings app each morning (Settings app > Battery). That screenshot displays how long each app was used, which Moment detects automatically and OCRs to pull out that data.
Gabe O'Leary
@kevinholesh Interesting...that is not what I was expecting.... So what If I use more than one page of apps per day? then i have to take multiple screenshots? and presumably I have to hit the clock each time so you can see screen time the apps use.

@golear It's a bit of a roundabout solution, but it's the only way for the app not to be creepy (use a VPN and track all web traffic) and play within Apple's rules. Right now, the multiple screenshot thing doesn't work yet, but it will in 3.0.1. The top of that screen, the first 10 apps or so, are the ones you use the most.

This is really awesome. I finished reading "Hooked" by Nir Eyal a few days ago and it made me realise just how much technology and our phones occupy our day-to-day life. I think the first step to changing habits is awareness and by the looks of things this app will allow me to do so.

@finlaysonconnor Exactly! My goal with the Phone Bootcamp (and other courses in the works) is to basically undo the damage caused by the Hooked model's popularity. I've read that book so many times to try to figure out a way to "unhook" you from the apps that are designed to keep you coming back. I hope the app helps you and I'd love to hear any suggestions you have! https://inthemoment.io/contact

What's Funny about this is. I'm sitting in an Uber and said "oh, I have to check today's product hunt". Then said to myself "I bet I use product hunt more than any other app". Then this app shows..... Let's find out how much I'm actually on PH.

@ericfettner The question is, do you really want to know? 😉
