What inspired me?

After attempting to create an app to enhance focus, I realized existing solutions fell short, like a secondary phone limited to calls and texts. This inspired LiteiOS, an integrated iPhone feature that offers personalized recommendations to help users reduce screen time.

The goal was to determine if identifying cues could positively affect screen time. My tests showed that acting on one cue reduced screen time by 30 minutes.

What did I identify?

Cues lead to mindless scrolling. A cue is a stimulus, event or object that serves to guide behaviour. The vicious cycle of us picking up our phones and getting hooked, starts with cues. Once we are aware of the cues, we can be more mindful with our phone usage.

My goal is to help people identify these cues.

Here are a few examples of smartphone-related cues
