I don't have a lot of descriptive words or even know how to put this info into words but I would like to have a platform where users can put their phone away and not be penalized. I can't think of ANY app or platform that doesn't encourage people to get on their phone. We all know that the big tech companies want people to be constantly on their phones because that is how they get money. My app would be the opposite of this. I want users to put their phone away and not get on the app until they are ready to interact with people. I want this app to be a way for people to interact with each other without being on their phone 24/7. It's OK to put your phone down and take breaks from it, and this platform would encourage that. I want to call this app "break" and the slogan will be "break up with your phone."<br><br>The idea is simple, when you first sign up you will be able to set the days and times your phone will be away. You will also be able to set the times you want to be on your phone. Let's say for example, you want to put your phone away from 8:00 P.M. (Your time) to 8:00 A.M. (Your time) for the whole week. Your profile will show your friends that your phone is away during that time. When a user tries to message you on your profile it will show them that your phone is away and you won't receive notifications when someone messages you. The only way someone would be able to send you a message is if they do it on your profile directly. You will also have an inbox where you can see all the messages that were sent to you while your phone was away. If you choose to respond to a message your phone will become "active" and you will receive notifications from then on.<br><br>Overall, I think this app will be a great way for people to put their phones down and break away from their phone addiction. We need an app that encourages people to be on their phones less, not more. I believe people would use this app because a lot of people are addicted to their phones and if their friends are putting their phone away and they see the positive results of it, they will want to also.
