The most distracting app for me is Telegram with numerous channels, which I find myself doomscrolling too often, and at the same with numerous crucial personal contracts.

Really sad modern phones don't allow to set app's budget for custom interval, like 5 minutes in an hour.

I've ditched all Telegram channels and only kept a few I'm quite fond of (they post rarely anyway)

You could try ScreenZen or a similar app that help control nd reduce the time you spend on certain apps.

Nowadays, you can such apps in a few prompts and some minor tweaks :)

Thanks. Honestly, I am somewhat concerned with all those 3rd party apps obtaining some control of my phone. Personally, would be so much nicer to have the same service provided by system. Vibecoding one is really an option.
