He probado todas las apps de bloqueo de Android y ninguna me servía, así que hice la mía

Llevo tiempo intentando reducir el uso del móvil. He probado prácticamente todo: las apps de bloqueo más conocidas, launchers minimalistas, y el Bienestar Digital que viene de serie.

El problema siempre era el mismo. O tenía que configurar veinte ajustes cada vez para estar "desconectado", o al final siempre quedaba algún resquicio por el que engancharme. Un enlace desde Maps, volver al launcher de siempre, cualquier cosa.

Así que me puse a desarrollarla yo. Después de bastante prueba y error, ya está en Play Store.

Cómo funciona

La idea es crear un entorno controlado. Configuras un tramo activo con lo esencial: llamadas, SMS, Maps, cámara y teléfono. Además puedes añadir las apps que tú consideres imprescindibles.

Una vez activo el bloqueo, no hay escapatoria:

• No puedes volver al launcher principal
• Si intentas colarte por un enlace externo (por ejemplo desde Maps), te devuelve al launcher de la app

No te quedas incomunicado, sigues teniendo lo esencial. Pero no te distraes con nada que no hayas elegido tú antes. Desconexión real.

Lo que a mí me faltaba en otras apps

No tienes que cambiar de launcher cada vez que quieras bloquear. Das los permisos una vez y listo.

Y sí, hay salida de emergencia: puedes salir con el tramo activo si de verdad lo necesitas, o reiniciando el móvil. La idea es que no lo hagas por instinto, no que te quedes atrapado.

Yo la uso a diario en mi Xiaomi y me va perfecta. Os dejo el enlace y unas capturas por si queréis probarla.

Cualquier feedback es bienvenido. por cierto se llama ( LAIZEN y esta en play store) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuapp.laizen

You’re the weird one now…

It makes everyone uncomfortable if you’re content without a screen in your face

This is the new world

Yay….

I don’t know if this is appropriate to post but it’s a pretty satisfying story so I wanted to share. My friends and I went to go see Spiderman last night on discount Tuesday, the theater was still packed like opening weekend and people were excited since the movie is still new. Right in front of my friends and I was a mom with her kids, I would say ages 8-12. All of the kids had phones and so did their mom. This is an important detail. But the movie starts, and periodically, this woman keeps opening her phone on MAX brightness to text people, check her email, check the weather, search things on Google, anything but the movie. It was so unbelievably distracting especially since she was sat right in front of us. I avoided saying anything for a little bit because I didn’t want to embarrass her kids who weren’t doing anything. But after about the third time she did it, I was about to lean over, two people in a row even farther from her beat me to it and shouted “CAN YOU PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY!!” My friends and I also jumped in on it after and asked her to please put the phone away, as did some others in the theater. I could tell she was embarrassed and put the phone away. She didn’t take it out for the rest of the movie, thank god.

But it’s just so embarrassing to me that a grown adult can’t go 2 hours without going on their phone during a movie while none of the kids even touched theirs. It was so bad that people in public had to scold her.

Anyways I just wanted to share this satisfying story to let you all know that shaming these assholes does usually work, especially as a group effort. They should know that they aren’t at their house but are in a public space where basic etiquette should be observed.

Today after a long day at work, I wanted to go for a walk without my phone. Just no distractions, not even a presence of my phone or other digital devices.

I noticed this today. I am actually scared to leave it at home, what if my mom calls, or my friends and I don’t answer. Will they get worried?

Has anyone else experienced this, it’s a little tough to admit but it’s very real for me.

It probably doesn’t even work that way but whatever.

I know I’m not the only person with this problem. I need to use YouTube for my work/research but I always get super distracted by shorts and end up wasting precious hours doomscrolling. I’ve been saying this for months, we need the option to either get rid of shorts, or have another app.

Also not for nothing but YouTube shorts suck. It’s the most braindead short form content available.

Do you prefer using a screen protector on your phone, or do you prefer it without one ?
