For me its about things to not do on my phone.

I disabled Safari (via parental settings), use an email account that auto-forwards everything to my main email, thus I can only send email from my phone, but not receive any (the inbox is always empty and I don't check my main email on it).

I only have apps that I use to input things into the phone (writing, taking photos) and I eliminiated everything that isn't designed to end at some point.

No Instagram or any of the likes, only WhatsApp, but muted so I have to proactively check it. I do use a news reader, which is subscribed to the RSS feeds of the sites I want to follow. No algorithmic curation of that content, and no ads (unless I open the sites that the RSS items link to).

Keeping one's sanity away from the side effects of tech these days is quite a technical job, somehow ;)

cool ideas! I am especially into these type of workarounds like your e-mail forwarding workaround. I've written services for myself based in similar ideas some time ago. Have you done more things like that?

Disappointing, right? We are working on something to change this & take a different path into a technological future. Right now we are running out of cash (bootstrapped) & need to find ways to stay alive...

I have a feeling that it would be great to talk to you, after i've ensured survival.
