+This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4,322, for Tuesday the 25th of February 2025.
+Today's show is entitled Fighting Smartphone Addiction.
+It is part of the series' health and health care.
+It is hosted by Celeste, and is about 12 minutes long.
+It carries a clean flag.
+The summary is, a time limit tool I'm trying out and how I'm using it.

+Hello everyone and welcome to this new episode at Hacker Public Radio.
+Today I don't have my usual microphone, so I'm recording from this smartphone.
+Hopefully we got a decent audio quality.
+So let's start.
+In the last months, I noticed I was using this smartphone way too much than needed.
+And even though I don't have any social media, I deleted all the accounts, Twitter, Instagram,
+Facebook, I've never subscribed to TikTok, never signed up, and I deleted all of them.
+I still have today, after years, a muscle memory to open the phone, unlock and open an app.
+For me, the muscle memory was rebuilt for the browser and messaging applications.
+So checking the news and then locking the game, checking the news and locking again, checking
+the news and locking again, it's really hard to limit because even if the news are not
+well designed for addiction, we might say, as the social media platforms, I still had this
+muscle memory, automatic unlock of the screen.
+And I don't like that because I was using the smartphone about 4 hours a day.
+And some friends who have social media use it even more, like 7 or 8 hours a day, and
+that's so much.
+And I don't think it's healthy, so I want to cut down that time, so I will start from
+me.
+I'll start from myself, and as I said, I literally removed all the social media, so I needed
+that some tools to help me get this smartphone at a correct usage.
+At the same time, people usually suggest the Google well-being pre-installed application,
+but I am running Raffino S without any Google play services or Google store or Google
+anything, so nothing like that is installed.
+Luckily I found a solution that I will present to you, which is called Open Time Limit.
+You can find that on FDroid, and it's not exactly what I needed, but it works fine.
+I wanted something to limit the usage of apps for myself, while Open Time Limit is more
+suited, how do you say that, as you, I, T, E, D, suited, I don't know, more fifting, okay?
+It fits better with the usage of parent control.
+So the whole app is set up for parent control.
+You are the parent, you can have a child device or a child account into the same device,
+and then only the parent with a password can set up limits for certain applications, block
+or other applications, or allow other applications.
+So it's quite strange because I am using it for myself, and I am at the same time
+the parent and the child one.
+But it works, it's a bit complex, there are some features I still don't understand,
+but it works.
+So basically you can make groups, groups of apps, and add one app, all the app to a specific
+group.
+So for each app you have to choose one group in which you have to insert it, and then
+you add some usage rules to that group.
+So for example, for me I made the internet group that contains new pipe, a new pipe and
+internet browser, and then I made the messaging group, which contains what's up, signal,
+and telegram, and then I can set different rules for each group.
+For instance, I did set up a limit of one hour day for add most for browsing, and one
+hour day for messaging, and these timers run independently.
+So the app open time limit is able to detect which app is active at any time, and decrease
+the timer of its group accordingly.
+And the time is over, it's simply blocked.
+You can, if you really need, add more time, but obviously as I'm trying to cut down the
+usage, I'm not doing that, but you need self-control for that.
+But yeah, increasing the time limits can be still useful, for instance, if you really
+need to reply to a message, and so you cannot like one minute only to reply to that message,
+and then the app is blocked again.
+Another cool features that I found useful was about limiting the muscle memory in unlocking
+the screen continuously, and opening the messaging and browser.
+So open time limit has a, how's it called?
+Session duration limit.
+After which you have to take a break, a forced break.
+For example, for my browser activity, I did set up one hour of total time in day, but
+I set that each session of usage of the browser can last only 10 minutes.
+So if I open the browser, the 10 minutes starts timer is started, and other opening of
+the browser inside the time limit are allowed.
+But once I reach the 10th minute after the first opening, I have to take a break.
+So I set 20 minutes break after 10 minutes of usage.
+And if you try to open the app after the minute number 10, it's blocked.
+And you have to wait 20 minutes.
+And this is very useful, I think, for removing the muscle memory, I mean, I've been using
+it only for a week, and it's really helping.
+Because for the first minutes, you still go on, go on with the muscle memory, you open
+or you open or you open or you open the app, and then it's blocked.
+And for 20 minutes you, hey, hey, oh no, it's blocked.
+Hey, let's try.
+Oh no, it's blocked.
+And you realize every time it's blocked, you realize you were opening the app automatically
+without thinking, and so something that you did without thinking becomes a thought.
+And you are able to know it and limit yourself more effectively.
+So another cool thing I did set up, and that it might be useful to you, I have also the
+problem that I tend to use this smartphone after waking up in the morning.
+So one solution I got is simply to not use the alarm of the phone, but use a physical
+low-tech alarm.
+But when I don't have that physical alarm at hand, yeah, I have to use the phone one.
+So after you probably do the same, I guess, I have to, I mean all of my friends do this
+too.
+After you stop the alarm, you already have the phone in your hand and you are confused
+and ultra tired, trying to wake up, and you get stuck on your phone for half an hour.
+Just in the process of trying to wake up.
+And in order to prevent that, I did set up a rule that completely blocks browsing activities
+and new pipe, since six from six a.m. to nine or ten a.m.
+So even if I wake up earlier or later, the browsing activity is completely blocked until
+I'm already at work, I'm already out, and certainly I'm not in the bed.
+That helps a lot.
+And that also saves time, which means I can get up and be ready in less time.
+I can sleep more.
+And also I'm less tired because I'm not wasting that half hour watching a screen.
+So yeah, open time limit on F-Droid, search it, try it, and let me know what do you think.
+And if you have tried similar solutions, or do you have different or similar problems
+to me and how you manage them, yeah, see you next time.
