Track smartphone use with QualityTime

Hoping to boost productivity or at least find out how much time you spend staring at your smartphone? QualityTime for Android is an app that will help monitor your smartphone habits. It can let you know how much time you spent using apps or how much you use your phone in general. The more you use it, the more you find out about your smartphone habits. It can let you know which days you use your smartphones the most and what apps you use at different times of the day.

If you want to control your particular use of an app, QualityTime can even warn you if you’ve used up the boundaries you’ve set. It has a “take a break” mode that will lock you out of certain apps for a given amount of time. But in case you need to use an app because of an emergency, you can do so with pre-approved apps.
