    This might help someone, I recently found an Android app called ‘DigiPaws’ that is designed to block selected apps during ‘quiet time’ or ‘focus periods’ that you set up - so the use-case of the topic.

    I know “an app to quit an app” but I’ve found it actually really helpful to stop me from touching social media when I’m supposed to be winding down to go to bed - I click on Lemmy/Greyjay and it literally closes the app and popup/toasts ‘quiet time [period remaining]’ and I’m like, “oh yeah shit I should just go to bed”.

    I have a bachelor’s degree but when it comes to the dopamine loop of social media scrolling I’m dumb as hell, and just having this little app effectively slap the phone away from my hand has been great in the month I’ve used it (its fairly new).

    Its on F-droid store as its open source, code on github. I know that’s a big plus to most here.
