Tried turning on greyscale mode and I am surprised by how effectively it works in making me not want to use the phone.

Not sure if it's the lack of color in general or because screens kind of turn into a black and white mush that's hard to navigate.

I think it is a mix of both. Grey scale reduces the vividness of everything, but also none of these apps are really designed with grey scale in mind.

Greyscale can be very cool and easy to use if built for it. Just look at Mac's before they went colour as an example.

I turned off all notifications, put the phone away upside down and same effect.
