Many here might know this, but worth mentioning again: A simple but underrated remedy to reduce the colourful appeal of a "smartphone" is to put it in black-and-white mode (i.e. gray scale). On Android you can do it this way:
'Developer options' --> 'Simulate color space' --> 'Monochromacy'
I couple that with:
+ Turning off all notifications.
+ I don't use any of the run-of-the-mill social media for about 7 years.
+ Most of my serious reading is largely via old-fashioned books.
All of the above makes it for a damn calm device.
- barbarr 6y agoTried the grayscale thing for a couple months. I primarily consume text on the internet, so it didn't do anything for me.
- mkskm 6y agoThis helps except that it needs to be turned off frequently for viewing and taking photos. It would be great if there were something like the smart invert setting for grayscale but I doubt that will ever happen.
