    i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.

    Based on personal struggles, I built an app that shows annoying things on my phone when I doomscroll. This includes dancing cats, the screen time police, or rain. Social media is great as long as you don't overuse it -- I learn and connect with friends thanks to it. But it's too easy to get hooked. When you open addictive apps, SpeedBump gives you a few options: 2, 5, 15, 30 minutes. The more you want to use, the more you have to wait before opening.

    HipHabit is an iOS app that I built to help people get out of bed without first browsing social media, go to sleep without scrolling through news, and motivate daily exercise. This app has improved my quality of sleep and consistency of daily routines. For those of you on HN who may also be glued to your phones, I hope this helps you too. Here’s a direct link to the app on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hiphabit-screen-time-control/i...
