If you want to make your addiction way worse in a crack vs cocaine kind of way I recommend KISS Launcher so you can install infinity apps.
I like kiss launcher a lot, I use it on my android tablet, which is my main work device. Its the only launcher that has great keyboard support… start typing right away, press enter, and it launches.
Looks so good with Arcticons and everything set to dark transparent + white lines on a lush natural background. I want to get a LineageOS-compatible tablet but I just can’t pull the trigger.
Plenty of launches like this on F-Droid.
Edit: These minimalist launchers force you to spend more time on your phone looking through the app drawer for the app you want. I prefer a launcher that lets me open an app faster, thereby spending less time on my phone.
Every other launcher on F-droid is one of these “minimalist” launchers. And they’re completely useless insofar as your phone ceases to be boring and minimalist as soon as you open an app. We’re addicted to apps not home screens.
One thing that really works to make apps less interesting sensorially is to turn the screen grayscale. For anyone who feels addicted to their phones, you can set this in the accessibility settings in android
i sometimes wonder if i lucked out getting addicted to laptops instead of phones.
they tend to be less of an addiction because we usually don’t keep them turned on all the time. There’s a time for turning off and stopping for the day, unlike phones, that we tend to use at any moment

i never shut mine off.
congrats, you’re officially an outlier lol
jokes aside, do you fin it do be less detrimental than phone addiction?
i don’t understand the phone addiction, so i don’t think i’m qualified to answer that; but i can say that i notice that people speak and behave differently if they rely more heavily on their phones than i do.
and i also suppose that the fact that i don’t bring my laptop everywhere with me and that the only time i use my phone at home is for phone conversations make sense.
