Phoneaholics

My name is will and I'm a Phoneaholic.

Last week I said I would spend 4 hours on my phone.

I did it! I actually spent only 2.1 hours

Why?

Inspired by Dr. Anna Lembke, Phoneaholics uses prosocial shame and community accountability to help build better digital habits. Here's how it works:

Public Commitment: By sharing your planned phone usage, you're making a public commitment to your goals.
Transparent Reporting: Regularly updating your actual usage creates a culture of honesty and self-reflection.
Community Support: Seeing others' struggles and successes fosters a supportive environment where everyone can learn from each other.
Positive Peer Pressure: Knowing that others can see your progress motivates you to stick to your goals.
Celebration of Progress: The platform highlights improvements, no matter how small, to encourage continued effort.

The goal is to create a collective sense of responsibility and motivation. Together, users work towards healthier digital habits and more mindful tech use.
