Available for both iOS and Android, the Checky app counts how many times a day you check your phone. While you certainly aren't the only one who is obsessed with their smartphone, it could be very eye-opening to see just how many times in 24 hours you look to see what's going on. Checky makes note every time you unlock your phone on a daily basis. If you have already acknowledged your phone addiction, the app could give you a starting point to work with if you want to scale back how many times you look at your mobile device. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Wellness:** Opportunities for digital wellness services that help individuals manage and reduce phone addiction through tracking apps like Checky. - **Behavioral Tracking:** Opportunities for tracking apps like Checky that help individuals monitor and regulate their smartphone use through behavioral tracking and data analysis. - **Screen-time Management:** Opportunities for screen-time management apps and services that use data and behavior tracking to help users reduce phone addiction and improve their digital well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunities for mobile app developers to create digital wellness apps and tracking tools like Checky to help users monitor their phone usage and improve their digital behavior. - **Digital Health and Wellness:** Opportunities for digital health and wellness providers that offer phone addiction management tools and programs to improve digital well-being and reduce screen time. - **Personalized Coaching:** Opportunities for personalized coaching services that help individuals manage their phone addiction through data-driven insights and behavioral tracking enabled by apps like Checky. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Distraction-Curbing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemio-app.md) - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolt-app.md) - [Anti-Distraction CBT-Powered Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inscreen-app.md) - [Distraction-Limiting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrewd-observer.md) - [Screen Time Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepfocus.md) - [Addiction-Conscious Social Media Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betimeful.md) - [Screen Time Reduction Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bepresent.md) - [Digital Wellness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focuspledge.md) - [Distraction-Blocking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowbuddy-app.md)
