I can't speak to e-ink but regarding screen time addiction, I used Gray-Switch (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vegardit.g...) to turn my phone display black and white, and immediately my phone use decreased by 66%.

I do this too on my iPhone - like all the really good iPhone settings, it’s an accessibility option, under Display -> Color Filters. You can also set up the “accessibility shortcut” so triple-clicking the side button enables or disables it.

It really reduces the intensity of the phone - you never realize just how garish the color choices are for almost every app out there until you see it in B&W.

This is a genius idea, I'm trying it out now. Had an iPhone for years and never had a clue about this feature. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this.

This is now built in to newer versions of Android (I think 11+, and AppleOS may also have it).

where would the settings for that be? accessibility?

On my phone it's Settings => Display => LiveDisplay => Reading mode ("Grayscale mode for long-term reading"). I can also add a reading mode toggle button to the quick settings in the notification bar.

The search box in Settings will probably find it if you search for gray or reading.

This is on LineageOS 18 (Android 11), though I recall it being mentioned in some Google events/announcements so I'm 99% sure it's a core Android feature and not something specific to LOS.
