Introduction

This video presents three reasons why a minimalist phone setup can help with digital detox. It highlights how the app reduces screen time by removing distracting icons, implementing in-app reminders to prevent endless scrolling, and allowing users to hide time-consuming apps.

Key Takeaways

• Removing distracting icons: A minimalist home screen with no icons reduces mindless app opening, requiring conscious effort to locate and launch apps.
• In-app reminders: The app helps users to avoid getting lost in endless scrolling feeds by prompting them to consider their app usage.
• Hiding apps: Users can hide apps they want to use less, thus curbing time wasted on unproductive activities.
• Positive user experience: 93% of users reported reduced screen time after three days of using the minimalist phone app, alongside reduced anxiety and less frequent phone checking.
• Easy reversibility: Users can uninstall the app and return to their previous phone setup if unsatisfied.
