For a while I paid $5 for the Dumbify launcher which basically is a template for you to use Widgets to modify your homescreen into, basically a kindle. It works aesthetically so if you feel like that helps, I would suggest it, but you can still swipe into the app library, so you need to just have the gumption to not redownload apps or go on Safari to use them. I would suggest grayscale as well but then itās a pain in the ass when you need to see a picture or search something up. Sadly apple wants us chained to it and wonāt give us control over our addictions!!

@EATGRAEPS i honestly wanted to get a flip phone but itās not worth the money for me now. i think my biggest issue isnāt scrolling (it is an issue, but not one thatās impossible for me to deal with), my biggest issue is the mentality of having a phone. like, i log almost everything i do in some sort of app. i love it for some reason idk why. i gotta just not have it in my pocket.
i figured since i take a backpack with me most places, i can just keep it there so itās accessible, and i can use my watch so i donāt miss any texts or calls. use it like an ipod touch.

@EATGRAEPS youāre better than me! i think i just have a really addictive personality in general for information and before i got my phone it was books. but ive been loggin 8 hours a day on the web since i was like 10 years old so scrolling is a big issue for me! still thinking about dumbphone but dont know how id live my life lol

@EATGRAEPS real lmao. have you watched eddy burbackās video on it? that was the catalyst for me. maybe he knew how to make it seem so enjoyable but it really did. itās a fun watch if youāre into that sort of commentary yt style.
