The QualityTime mobile application can not only wean you from constantly reaching for your smartphone, but it is also quite capable of snitching your wife or boss if you disobey.
Modern smartphones confidently play the role of a universal electronic assistant that copes with a variety of daily tasks. However, the flip side of the coin is the increasing dependence on electronic gadgets, which in some cases takes on unhealthy forms. The constant need to hold your smartphone in your hands, endless checks of mail, instant messengers, social networks, hours of freezing in mobile games can completely imperceptibly turn into a real problem.
The QualityTime application will help to collect information about your daily use of the mobile gadget and individual applications. Based on these statistics, you will be able to conclude how far your passion for your smartphone has gone, and, if necessary, limit its use.
After installation, the program runs in the background and monitors both general information about the device's activity time and the statistics of launches of each application. To view the collected data, you need to run QualityTime. In a simple and visual form, you will see the total time of using the gadget, the number of unlocks, the names of the programs used, the operating time of each of them, and other information.
When you tap on the name of any program in the list, we will see detailed statistics of its use. Here you can also activate a notification that will appear if you use this program for more than the time you specified. In addition, in the QualityTime settings there is a Take a Break function that will block your smartphone or tablet for a while to save you from the temptation to check your mail or Facebook again.
An interesting feature of QualityTime is its own IFTTT channel. With its help, we will be able to link the statistics collected by the program with some third-party applications, services and actions. Here are some examples of how this channel can be used.
Email notification of overuse of programs
Marking in Google Calendar about excessive use of an electronic gadget
Record daily smartphone use in Evernote
These are just a few examples. With our detailed guide to using the IFTTT service, you can create the recipe you need yourself.
