Phone Stand Aims To Fight Addiction
A phone stand designed to help users reduce smartphone addiction uses a tactile button and an ESP32-S3 microcontroller to track focus time and encourage users to leave their phones on the stand. When the phone is picked up, a countdown timer appears on an OLED display, and if the phone is not returned, the focus streak resets. The device also includes a touch sensor for setting reminders and a buzzer to prompt users to put the phone down. The system logs data on a web server, allowing users to monitor their productivity over time.
