Check out Siempo (www.getsiempo.com) - it's basically a software version of the Light Phone 2 (for Android only now).
We believe the launcher approach is the most effective way to solve the problem b/c it actually gets at the root cause, which is that the smartphone interface has no protections against the persuasive techniques of addictive apps. So we made a new interface that is less distracting and more intentional.
We just launched in the Play Store and would love your thoughts and feedback!
- mkaziz 8y agoI love the idea but it needs way too many permissions. How do you guys make money?
- ad7024 8y agoWe know :( Our next release (<2 weeks, with new onboarding flow) will only ask for one permission on first launch. The app is currently free while in beta. We are in the process of building the UI for a Pay What You Can subscription model, which we feel aligns well with the movement away from an attention economy towards a user value economy, makes it more accessible, etc.
- rthomas6 8y agoWill there possibly be a way to just buy the app?
- mkaziz 8y agoI would def feel more comfortable paying for it and having an ironclad guarantee you wouldn't use my data to stay solvent / pay for bankruptcy down the line.
