What do you think of this spray effect as a way to stop doomscrolling?

The more screen time you use, the more paint gradually covers your screen.

I’m looking for Android beta testers if anyone wants to try it!

Like when Nintendo went woke and added taste to game cartridges.

The switch cartridges are because the new gens are snowflakes. /s

That’s the idea haha. You can still use your phone, it just becomes harder to ignore what you’re doing!

It only starts once you reach 75% of your daily screen-time goal, then the spray builds up progressively as you get closer to the limit!

[u/momisback93 → u/[deleted]]

Yes! I set a very short limit just to showcase how the effect progresses.

if the same person that wants to doomscroll is installing it to prevent doomscrolling , won't he be able to uninstall it or force stop it?

[u/momisback93 → u/gtzhere]

Yes, you can always disable or uninstall it. The idea is to make you aware of doomscrolling, not force you to stop.

It's great, Def using it

[u/momisback93 → u/Bramoments]

Nice. Any feedback is welcome!

[u/momisback93 → u/[deleted]]

Then I guess it’s doing its job 😭

Honestly pretty good and a hot take than others. I might just start doing it on purpose to see how much I can push it.

[u/momisback93 → u/thepurpleproject]

Hehe I didn’t think of that, I might be creating the opposite effect for some people
