Google has a series of new "digital wellbeing" experiments designed to help people use their Android phones a little less, or at least a little more thoughtfully. Available experiments include:
Paper Phone
A lot of people feel that they spend too much time on their phones and struggle to find a balance with technology.
Paper Phone helps you have a little break away from your digital world by printing a personal booklet of the key information you’ll need that day.An app lets you choose what to include such as favourite contacts, maps and meetings and then prints them directly to a sheet of paper. Customisable “paper apps” like recipes, phrasebooks and notepads let you get things done or unwind in a more focussed way.
Unlock Clock:
Unlock Clock helps you consider your tech use, by counting and displaying the number of times you unlock your phone in a day. Simply download the wallpaper and get started.
Desert Island:
Desert Island helps you find focus, by challenging you to go a day with only your essential apps. Simply pick the apps that are most important to you, then give it a go for 24 hours.
You can download the tools to create your own experiment here.
