How people use Patterns

Phone habits and how you feel

Gently notice how late-night scrolling, news or certain apps line up with your mood the next day.

Most of us know the feeling of looking up from the phone and wondering where the evening went. Patterns includes a Doom scrolling tracker out of the box, not to make anyone feel guilty, but because it’s one of the most common things people are curious about.

Ideas to try

  • Log scrolling sessions when you notice them, with roughly how long and which app.
  • Keep logging how you feel as you normally would.
  • After a few weeks, check whether certain apps, or late-night sessions, line up with how you feel the next day.

No judgement here

Sometimes scrolling is rest. Sometimes it’s how we cope with a long day. The aim is simply to see clearly, so any change you choose to make is your own.

Start whenever feels right

Patterns is for iPhone (iOS 17 or later). Try every feature free for a week, then decide at your own pace.
