Like any bad habit, doomscrolling is hard to kick, but it’s not hopeless — or at least, I hope it is n’t .

The problem is that our lives have become so deeply intertwined with tech companies that are looking to capture as much of our time as possible.

Downtime sets a schedule of when you can use certain apps, or maybe you create a more customizable day-to-day schedule.

Apple ’s built-in Screen Time tools are effective, but they’re a bit easy to circumvent.

Some third -party apps are designed to limit your screen time.

You can play games, read books, play e-books and play games on your phone.
