That's kinda the point. Make the phone less appealing to use so you don't use it for mindless scrolling

You can easily make calls on this thing or shoot a quick text. However, you won't be wasting 3 hours scrolling on Instagram or Reddit

And would still be good for music too - wonder, though, if it would work ok for maps/navigation?

Oh, thanks!

The more I think about it, the more it does appeal to me. ABout the only surfing I do on my phone is Reddit, otherwise I just use it for texting, music, navigation, and weather.

Sounds like it would be great for reddit but you would miss out a bit on the video content

I'm an idiot - I forgot the number one thing I love about cell phones - the camera.

Theres a specific high refresh mode that you can enable at anytime to use apps that require scrolling like maps and video.

You should be able to mimic this on your phone now (at least the B&W part). Free new year's resolution.

Android:
Settings>Accessibility>Display>Color and motion>Color correction, toggle Use color correction on, select Grayscale

iOS:
Settings>General>Accessibility>Display Accommodations>Color filters, toggle Color Filters On on, select Grayscale

Maybe not IG but reddit is primarily text
