Checky works on the basic idea of letting you know the exact number of times that you checked your phone today. This app is a simple platform where your phone usage is mapped down and a certain number is provided to you. For example, if you ask “how many times a day do I check my phone”, so the app will give you the number of times you checked your phone on that particular day such as may be 72 times, 105 times etc.
The basic idea behind developing this app is to help you identify the addictiveness to your Smartphone and your tendency to just pick it up and do something on it. Checky app does a nice job of helping Smartphone addicts in decreasing their phone usage. They have a check over the phone usage and gradually work towards lowering that number. Also, you can compare your score with that of your friends as to see who is more obsessed.
“Like many folks, I am pretty much addicted to my phone,” says Calm founder Alex Tew. “And now I know exactly how much: most days I check my phone over 100 times. In fact, yesterday I checked my phone 124 times. Today I’m at 76, so far. Having this new awareness makes it easier to control my phone usage,” he says. “My new goal is to check less than 100 times a day.”
