Addiction-Conscious Social Media Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

BeTimeful Makes Your Social Media Less Addictive

— October 3, 2022 — Social Media
BeTimeful is the first News Feed Blocker for all your devices. BeTimeful reduces endless social media scrolling and distractions by simply removing the News Feed. Ultimately, the app makes your social media less addictive so that users can “stay connected, not distracted.”

According to research, users spend as much as 7 years of their lives on social media and these distractions (even when ignored) reduce your IQ by 10 points on average. To combat this, BeTimeful was created. Upon installation, BeTimeful removes all distractions from the platforms, so you remain focused while using them.

After the seven-day free trial on Chrome and iOS, users can subscribe to BeTimeful’s Monthly Pro membership for $5.99 or Annual (12 months) Pro membership for $48. The membership includes unlimited blocking of distracting social media websites, smart time limits, Google Calendar integration, auto discipline mode, and daily inspirational quotes.
Trend Themes
1. News Feed Blockers - News Feed Blockers are becoming a popular solution for reducing social media addiction and distractions.
2. Smart Time Limits - The integration of smart time limits into social media apps presents an opportunity to limit usage and reduce addiction.
3. Auto Discipline Modes - Apps with auto discipline modes that help users maintain focus and reduce distractions are on the rise.
Industry Implications
