I am bothered by our current smartphone addiction. Plus I noted that a even though I spend a good chunk of my time on phone, it gives no feedback on whether I should be focusing on 'X' instead of browsing instagram or more reddit.

I believe smartphones (and desktop browsers) should be able to give feedback on our moods based on sites/apps we browse.

Do you know anyone who makes money(lifestyle businesses ok) from selling such anti addiction/quality of life improving products? I looked at a few "minimal" phone launchers with 100k+ downloads, but I do not know how much we make.
