Does anyone here have any experience with the Light Phone 2? (self.adhd)

I find myself on my phone way more than I want to be. It is a distraction. However, for everything it does distract me from, it still is a useful tool.

I have tired usage blocking apps. But since I can just turn it off - it doesn't really work.

I take pictures to remember things, and I worry that the light phone not having a camera will be a problem... but I am also just thinking I could just write things down I guess.

Anyway I'm just wondering if any of you switched to a dumb phone and have noticed a positive impact on your life.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response, I genuinely appreciate it.

Your concerns with both privacy and lack luster keyboard were 2 of my sticking points. Since you are echoing this, I think I may honestly just give up on the light phone. Watching YouTube, the e-ink performance and response does seem to be an issue.

It may be made to not be used as often, but when I do use it - I want it to work - especially for $300.

The Nokia phone is gonna be a no go for me.

What I am considering is the CAT S22. It's not dumb, but not really fully smart either. It probably skates by with Cs and Bs and got detention a time or two. At $70, I think it's with a try.

For now, I may take a page from your book and install Graphene OS on my Pixel 4a and give the apps you mentioned another go.

Thanks again for your insight!
