Make Your Phone Less Visually Tempting with Grayscale

If you want to spend less time on your phone, try switching the display to grayscale for a bounded trial. Treat it as friction against habitual use, not as a productivity, sleep, or mental-health upgrade.

What the agent should do

Enable grayscale on your phone and leave the rest of your normal setup alone for a bounded trial. Use the phone when you actually need it; the point is not abstinence. Notice whether automatic checking becomes less attractive. If color is important for navigation, accessibility, work, photos, or another real task, switch color back on for that task instead of treating grayscale as a purity test.

Check-in

Did my phone screen time or automatic checking change, and did I simply move the same distraction to another device?
