Swapped my phone's grayscale mode for a full-on dumbphone launcher last week

I used to just flip on grayscale thinking it would kill the dopamine hit (you know, the whole black and white screen thing), but I'd still find myself scrolling for 20 minutes. Then I installed one of those minimalist launchers that only shows calls and texts, and my screen time dropped from 4 hours to 45 minutes a day. Has anyone else tried a launcher like that or do you stick with the phone's built-in tools?

Wait wait wait, 4 hours down to 45 minutes? That's wild, I don't think I've ever heard of that big a drop. @brooke_walker23 is right though, grayscale basically does nothing when you're just mindlessly scrolling anyway.

I mean I tried grayscale for a week and it did nothing for me either. That launcher hack actually sounds way more effective since it just cuts off the whole problem. Might have to look into that.
