comes an app that can help you de-addict from your

smartphone, freeing up more time for you to spend
with your family and friends.
Called Moment, the app can track how much you use
your phone, and where you use it - and suggest when it
might be time to put it away.
"I built Moment to help nudge me in the right direction
by automatically tracking my daily iPhone use and
giving me a warning when I'm on it for too long," wrote
app creator Kevin Holesh on his blog post.
The iOS app automatically tracks how much you use
your phone each day and if you are using your phone
too much, you can set daily limits on yourself and be
notiYed when you go over.
You can also set up reminders when you reach 50
percent of your allotted time, Daily Mail reported, citing
Holesh's blog post.
"My goal was to Ynd a balance of connected and
disconnected that was right for me. Moment has
helped me gain another 35 minutes every day to take
my dogs for a hike or do a quick workout instead of
mindlessly scrolling through Twitter," Holesh said.
"Moment is helping me Ynd that balance," he added.
