I'm trying to cut down on my phone (Android) usage, and so far I've found these steps to be really helpful
- A minimal launcher like OLauncher
- Obsidian for note taking.
- Syncthing-Fork to sync my notes and phone gallery with my computer.
- Local Send for file transfer between any device and OS.
- Readera for reading ebooks.
- Rethink DNS to firewall and selectively block internet for applications or domains.
- This helps a lot, e.g. cutting off Telegram and WhatsApp's internet when I've gone for a walk and just want to listen to music, but don't want to be bombarded by texts or calls. People say you can mute or turn off notifications, but I still subconsciously open these apps and get distracted.
- Grayscale or reading mode to make the screen black and white. Makes the phone more conducive to reading.
- Newpipe for the occasional one-off YouTube video.
- Harmonic for hacker news. I've found many interesting articles and stories here.
- closetkantian 2y agoI also have obsidian on my phone but I find it really awkward to actually take notes for some reason. Maybe I'm just too used being able to write so quickly using the keyboard on my laptop.
- uncharted9 2y agoFor me. It is for quickly jotting some idea or quick list. Never actually writing something meaningful on phone.
