More on the design of the app and the theory behind it can be found in the project report.Īfter the app was developed, a two week study was completed by fourteen participants who used the app on their phones. Secondly, the glow scales to the amount of usage, being barely noticeable after a short time, but gradually becoming more and more obtrusive. Useful functions of the phone remain fully accessible. Firstly, it is targeted in that only apps the user has said they want to use less of are affected - so the user has already bought into this. This is a targeted and scaled approach, aimed at reducing the frustration experienced by the user as a result of using AppTracker, as frustration is the main cause of deactivating similar intervention software. The app therefore asks users to select apps they wish to use less of, and to set a daily usage target.
In short, the edge of the screen gets more and more red when a problematic app is used for a longer period of time, and the more these apps are used in a single day, the more of the screen the glow will surround. The latter builds on a finding from previous research that these long, mindless, habitual use cases are perceived as particularly unsatisfying by users, giving a sense of a lack of autonomy. It changes into two dimensions - the amount of the screen edge it covers, and the intensity/colour/brightness of the glow - to communicate two distinct quantities the user's progress towards a daily target of usage, and particularly intense usage sessions. This awareness is achieved by displaying an 'edge glow' on screen, at all times. AppTracker attempts to remove the need for frustrating interventions such as outright restriction of app usage, by instead giving the user a continuous, subliminal awareness of their smartphone usage, encouraging mindfulness. A survey of existing literature and solutions found that while tracking of phone use is now a common and readily available feature, this tracking data is not always immediately available to the user.
