But a range of devices can help you spend less time glued to your phone.
From app blockers to e-readers, these products make it easier to put the phone down and enjoy the real world.

You choose which apps or websites to block, then tap your phone to the Brick to activate it.

The Bloom Card is a stainless steel NFC keycard that physically blocks sites like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Tap the card to your phone to start a focus session; to scroll again, you need the card handy.
There are no loopholes, so if you don't have the card, you're locked out.
For a more extreme approach, the Timed Lock Box lets you lock up your phone, game controllers, or remote for a set time.
It only unlocks when the timer ends, not a minute sooner.
