The maximum battery save mode on Samsung (or maybe on all android devices?) does just that - you can set the limit on which apps can be opend. Turn the display to greyscale. Homescreen only shows like 8 apps.

I think for most people, just putting an extra step between you and whatever toxic app(s) you have can be enough. It mostly works for me, and as an added bonus you get insane battery life. I would try that before buying a new phone.

Different people need a different number of steps inbetween. I know for myself, I'll just end up disabling the battery saver mode.

Fair enough, I probably wrote most people just as an automatic phrase when it should be "some people"

		This is more like "just increase friction". For some people it's more than enough, for others it's barely anything. Personally speaking, I've found that just the act of removing the reddit app from my home screen makes it fairly less likely to be opened, as now I need to open my app drawer.

		Check my math here, but 1 is larger than 0.
