Device can be mobile phone, laptop or both.

Someone needs to make pants with faraday cage pockets. Protection from radiation and notifications at the same time.

orschiro4• 7 years ago

That's a good one. Usually I block all notifications on both laptop and mobile. Do not disturb is my favourite feature.

I have neither mobile phone nor laptop computer.

orschiro4• 7 years ago

Desktop PC then?

zzo38computer2• 7 years ago

That I have. I don't have any programs with notifications other than I put in a notification for the number of mail messages by myself. Many programs I use I wrote myself or modified for my own use.

Using screens in grayscale helps to take control of your usage.

orschiro4• 7 years ago

That's interesting. Can you elaborate? How does it help you?

Can only speak about myself, but it renders social media with pictures or videos pretty much useless. My usage dropped significantly. Check it out for yourself under accessibility settings if your have iOS.
