Switch to a Productive Task

Get an alert to switch from mindless phone use to productive phone use

Picture this: You've been on your phone mindlessly scrolling through social media for 30 minutes. You get a notification asking if you want to switch to a more productive task. You decide yes, and by clicking on the notification you are taken to a to-do list of productive tasks that you can do on your phone. This to-do list was created by you before. You look through your list and decide it is a good time to research things to do for an upcoming trip that you are going on...

Phones can be powerful tools and we can do a lot of productive things on our phones. However, a lot of us use our phones in unproductive ways. We can be on social media and before we know it, an hour has gone by.

Switch is an app that aims to help you use your phone in more productive ways. Using the app, you can set a to-do list of productive tasks that you can do on your phone (for example, pay a bill, research for an upcoming trip, buy something online that you need for your home). Then set a timer for how long you will be on your phone before you receive a notification with a link to do your to-do list.
