If the problem is social media app addiction, I have found the best solution is to turn on screen time, whitelist your most important apps like messages, calendar etc. and then enable a passcode to access any other app. Ask a friend to set a pin code for you so you cannot cheat.

Another solution is to just use an apple watch with cellular as your primary phone. It has everything you need (spotify, imessage, etc.) but nothing that distracts you like youtube, tiktok etc.

Apple watch is a 'dumb' phone. I upgraded to watch ultra for this purpose. Just leave the iphone at home or in the car (bonus: one less item to carry). I use browser to check twitter occasionally, but it helps break the habit of keeping phone around all the time. Do miss the camera though..

It's important to note that music streaming and texting are also wants rather than needs. I've recently started leaving my house where the only electronic device that I go with is my compact camera.

What compact camera do you use?

Sony ZV-1. I've also got a smallrig L bracket on it for extra tripod mount points (I use it as a webcam with a wall power supply, but the built in mount is blocked by the battery compartment door when it's open) and it is still pocketable. I would say the image quality is better than my phone (Samsung S10) and worse than my DSLR (Nikon d3400). Sometimes I prefer it over my DSLR though, like for its super fast and accurate auto focus.
