Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness

The alternative to black and white stuff is simply: curate what you have in your phone. Uninstall all social media (yes all). Keep only constructive content on your device. No useless apps sending notifications, no feed of brain-rotting content at one tap on you homescreen.

I keep:

- a carefully curated list of high-quality channels on youtube (on newpipe, so no tracking and no echo chamber personalised recommendations)

- a carefully curated list of high-quality subreddits

- hackernews

And that's it. Just cut off the junk, grayscale wont save you

This + a text based launcher and culling notifications means I rarely get notifications I don't want.

I tried grayscale, but it ended up being too dramatic.

So you're not removing all social media from your phone?

I put hackernews and high-quality subreddits like AskHistorians or truegaming in the same category as forums, not on the same category as facebook :)
