I made an Apple Shortcut to achieve something similar. Opening/closing certain apps triggers the shortcut. If I've been on my phone more than 15 minutes the phone vibrates and a menu pops up that asks, "Is this helpful?" Yes does nothing. No, boots me to the lock screen.
The random interruption is just enough to make me consider what I'm actually doing.
Happy to share if anyone wants a link.

Comment on Bags and backpacks! What do you look for, what do you use? in ~life.style

I took it out in the rain and was shocked to see water beads on the outside. I'm used to moisture just soaking in. If you ever want another bag for cheaper, check eBay for "TIMBUK2 Branded with Tags". I got mine for way less from an ex or current employee selling their branded pack. The only difference is the bag will have a Verizon, Paypal, etc. logo on it.
I was also thinking shadow.tech might work if you can squeak by on the Standard plan’s RAM. Might not be worth the cost for a semester on the Advanced plan though. If you try a demo keep an eye on latency because moving layers around could get really frustrating if it lags.
