Setting my phone to gray scale didn't "cure" me from my smartphone addiction. But it did help. In particular, games stopped being fun to play.

I just finished up one week of only carrying an LTE Apple Watch as a smartphone replacement and it has been incredibly effective.

I'm on a GameBoy kick recently, so that statement stands out, to me.

Ah, fair point. The main difference is that the games I was playing were not explicitly designed for grey scale. If I had been playing on a GameBoy emulator, I wouldn't have even noticed!
