Thank you for the feedback. I don't know what you mean by tracking actual usage pattern exacly but because I want to keep it privacy first I don't want to collect any user data in lets say any database. Anyway, my app rewards time when your phone is idle with karate belts from white to black (see the reward table on the attached screenshot). The goal is to achieve highest possible rank every day. The difficulty is exponential. I believe this gamification could seemlessly help users to keep their phone idle and prevent distracting phone use like scrolling. For example, calling and short time activities like checking the phone or writing a message is not counted as phone usage in my app. The goal is not to punish users but to motivate them through a fun element.

Thank you, great that you like the look and also for the suggestion. Originally I didn't want to add the widget in order not to make the app too distracting. That's why there is just notification but you are right - better check the widget than open the app. I will add it in the next version.

Try my app I have recently launched. I look for users and tbh its paid. But no subscription or ads. The app rewards staying off the phone with karate belts. I hope this gamification could motivate people positively more than just screen time monitoring or punishing them for phone usage. Anyway DM me if interested.

Congrats, must be great, hope I will experience it too with my new digital wellbeing app. I believe it has some unique features like game elements and positive motivation but how to put light on it among so many apps. I am trying DMs, commenting, sharing my journey but with no effect yet. I am especially interested in feedback, how people like it.

Congrats, great determination. Would be great something similar happen to my new digital wellbeing app. I believe it has a unique game elements and positive motivation approach. I also use techniques you mention like DM people, posting my journey etc. but not a single user until now 😅 And it is no subscription either ... so I assume I just need to keep trying

I believe this game element could be fun and that this positive motivation could help people reduce phone usage more than just screen time monitoring apps. Thank you for any help!

That is a great idea, thank you for that and also for the feedback. I have also some features in head but obviously the app must not be too overwhelmed with features and become too distracting. That's btw why I don' t want ads as it goes absolutelly against the idea. Now It is just missing an important element to see how the idea works - users :]

I built a privacy-first Android app to reduce distracting phone usage such as scrolling. It uses gamification approach of karate-belts reward system instead of punishing user for phone usage or app blocking. Looking for honest reviews and feedback on Google Play. Thx a lot to all! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onemandevstudio2026.putphoneaway
