Try Grayscale Mode to Curb Your Phone Addiction
- newprint 3y agoI have been using greyscale mode on my Android phone for number of years (starting when it was only available through dev console). It is very interesting cognitive experience. I learned very quickly that colors drive a lot of context that I usually don't pay attention to. I wouldn't say that I have been using phone less, because of the greyscale mode. Give it a try, maybe you will like it.

- kjs3 3y agoI have a greyscale desktop setup (ex-Xray review monitor) that I occasionally fire up and use for writing. Not sure how to describe it other than 'calming' in the sense the lack of color is one less distraction. I picked up the greyscale 'habit' back when mono VGA monitors were much cheaper than color and I picked one up being short of cash. Later, the beautiful NeXT mono setups sold me.
