| I'm trying to cut down on my phone (Android) usage, and so far I've found these steps to be really helpful - A minimal launcher like OLauncher - Obsidian for note taking. - Syncthing-Fork to sync my notes and phone gallery with my computer. - Local Send for file transfer between any device and OS. - Readera for reading ebooks. - Rethink DNS to firewall and selectively block internet for applications or domains. - This helps a lot, e.g. cutting off Telegram and WhatsApp's internet when I've gone for a walk and just want to listen to music, but don't want to be bombarded by texts or calls. People say you can mute or turn off notifications, but I still subconsciously open these apps and get distracted.
- Grayscale or reading mode to make the screen black and white. Makes the phone more conducive to reading.- Newpipe for the occasional one-off YouTube video. - Harmonic for hacker news. I've found many interesting articles and stories here. |
