Creator of Moment for iOS here, the app that tracks how much you're on your phone. 3.0 is out with two big features: The ability to track what individual apps you use the most (my #1 most requested feature) and a coach to train yourself to use your phone less. The app use tracking breaks down where you spent your screen time that day almost automatically. The Coach starts with a 14-day Phone Bootcamp. Every morning, you'll get a somewhat difficult exercise to do to rethink your phone habits, like "No phone in the bathroom today."" At the end of the two weeks, you'll hopefully question some of your bad habits and have some mental tools to resist your phone. Let me know what questions you have!

@kevinholesh very cool! People always end up using battery usage as the measure, which of course, "penalizes" battery efficient apps. Something like this should be standard in iOS! 👍

@nivo0o0 @kevinholesh As far as I can see, this uses battery use as well. in fact, the whole daily screenshot process of battery use seems an incredibly clunky solution. I am going to try this for a while, but I've disabled the app tracking feature, too much friction.

@kevinholesh @frassmith @nivo0o0 Yep, I'm giving it a try but definitely not what i though I was getting when I reinstalled this app.

@andym_dc @frassmith @nivo0o0 Sorry that wasn't clear. It is a clunky solution compared to something completely automatic, but it's the only one possible withtin Apple's rules.

This is really cool, a lot of people have been asking for phone tracking for gyrosco.pe/app this might be it if they have an API.

@myusuf3 Thanks! Love the Gyroscope app. No API in Moment right now, but you can export all of your data (settings > Advanced > Export Data).

@kevinholesh @myusuf3 +1 for a Gyroscope integration/API. This would very nicely round out productivity numbers if layered in with RescueTime.

Much more useful than Pokemon go, thanks!

@roberthopman Certainly less entertaining though. So far, 17% of the people using app tracking have installed Pokémon GO and they use it for an average of 56 minutes a day. That's more than Facebook (avg 35 min/day) and Messages (avg 20 min/day) combined. Not bad for an app that didn't exist last week. 🤗
