What is Reddit's opinion of Moment?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I used the app moment to collect phone time usage and what apps I used the most (messenger was taking like 3-4h a day) and used toggl I only log the time i'm actually working, like I didn't log this hour although I spent it on my office

after deleting messenger I started reading again, most of the time spent after messenger is either slack (responding to a college while on commute, switching toggl off and on, or reading)

the great thing about data is that it really makes you think twice some days I go back home overwhelmed thinking it was work but seeing only 2 hours of work I never imagined I was spending so much time on my phone like this, now I only charge my phone twice every 3 days, and it's a freaking iphone

so yeah, apps like moment, toggl, and every logging app is great insight of how time is spent

I also used google sheets to make this data

toggl doens't provide a way to export detailed data

Great post! I find digital minimalism to be more important in my life than physical minimalism due to the fact that I interact much more in the digital world than I do with the physical world. I have a few recommendations for incorporating digital minimalism more thoroughly into your life.

(1) Time Well Spent offers many tips for creating a better relationship with your phone and computer.

(2) Moment is a wonderful iPhone application that helps me make sure I'm taking time to enjoy human relationships off of my phone more than relationships online.

(3) Learn to Optimize your Inbox and move towards "Zero Inbox" - It's great to see all my emails gone from my inbox and has created a greater sense of calmness in my life. Prevent information over-stimulation!

I can't wait for this update.

So much of it is just paving the way for future updates and change.

• Integrating their acquisition of workflow as a new app is great, having it at the core gives great hope to heaps of user defined automation
• Better implementation of DND. It has always been limited, total I don't use DND outside of the automatic timer... now using location data and/or calendar data is going to make it so much more useful
• Notification grouping is great - I haven't really had too much of an issue with the old notifications, but people seemed to hate on them bit time.
• The Focus app to help you better understand your smart phone addiction is awesome. I only just recently paid for the premium version of `moment` (https://inthemoment.io/) this iOS update basically kills that app/business completely...

IOS doesn't allow this, so unless your jailbroken there isn't a good way to do this. The only app I found to offer similar functionality is https://inthemoment.io/ but requires making a screenshot of your battery screen every day/week

Moment really helped me reduce my phone time. Image proof here -- I went from 2+ hours a day to <1 hour a day.

Once I broke the habit of checking my phone 'just because' -- in line, even at the urinal -- the rest came pretty easy. I uninstalled the social apps, disabled notifications, moved most apps off my home screen, and now keep my phone in my bag/on the table instead of my pocket.

You can't really get rid of the internet, but you can create some space between you and it :)

> Try to take a month long break and see if you enjoy your life more living in the moment and more offline.

I've tried this...it's extremely hard and I haven't been able to do this...but I have been able to reduce my online exposure and it has helped my moon. Exercise more. But damn - we ARE addicted.

Check out the Moment app for tracking phone usage time

Love the plan!
For the last bullet, I recommend either the app Moment https://inthemoment.io/ or the Freedom app https://freedom.to/
I have used Moment myself and it has great tracking of how you use your phone and I have heard Freedom is good for blocking content on your smartphone.

For manual timers like Toggl, check out Timelogger on ios.

For seeing where your time goes on all your iOS devices, check out the app Moment. It has to do a workaround since you can't directly monitor all the time on iOS, it has you do a daily or weekly screenshot of your battery app page and loads that data into the system.

I use MomentMoment . Ita great ij that it allows you to set specific limits for individual apps, as well as an overall max screen time per day. You can also set lock out periods ...so if you want no screens at dinner you can lock it for that period of time.

That's incredible. I've heard that boredom is a breeding ground for creativity/life growth, if taken advantage of. Makes you wonder how people were able to do it before smart tech nowadays. Puts things in perspective when you have so much time in your hands.

On a side note, check out this app! https://inthemoment.io/ I think you can download it on your computer too (desktop version?), it's been featured on a bunch of other resources. It allows to track exactly what you do online and I think it can block sites too after you pass a limit you can place on yourself. Could be interesting to see what you find!

Another student turned me on to the app Moment for the iPhone. It tracks phone usage including "pick-ups" and overall daily use. This could be useful for those of you interested in doing something with technology. Android users please reply to this if you know of a similar app.

It's all about usage, my Iphone 6 can last 48 hours easily and I considerer myself checking social media regularly. There's a difference between checking social media for 5 minutes 4 time a day, and checking social media for 2 hours while commuting or watching a movie.

my SO used to complain about her iphone, thank to https://inthemoment.io/ it turned out she used her phone 5x more than me.

try this one: an app, not a tweak, but should help students anyway
