This is brilliant, will absolutely hack around with it this weekend. I think it's possible to temporarily modify brightness on iOS as a third party app, thanks very much for the suggestion

Instead of brightness, you could make the screen go black and white. I already do this to reduce my screen time. You can set screen colors in accessibility, and scrolling instagram is much more boring when it's in B&W.

I have my triple tap set to B&W, definitely makes things a lot less interesting.

I had that and found it to be less effective since it was so easy to disable it.

I'm now using the iOS shortcut automation turning on the BW mode at 10pm and then disabling it at 5pm.

same. wish there was a shortcut i could place on my home screen as a toggle though.
