What's absurdly ironic about these smartphone addiction apps is that * they're smartphone apps*. They require you to use your smartphone in order to use them. Far more effective, I imagine, would be anything else at all: ditching your smartphone, replacing it with a dumbphone, doing an unplugging retreat, doing a "dopamine fast," or simply taking up a new hobby that's more healthy, like writing or reading on paper.
