    wow man, we have really similar stories here. same addiction from a young age, same feelings on phones, same wife-holding-ultimate-passcode-power. I always admire your creativity but this video resonated with me especially. Thanks for the honesty and heart, you really are one of the greats

      that's wild man, but I'm glad you're finding freedom and making those tough choices, it's so worth it. I think it's about time we collab on something soon 👀

    Bro thank you for being up the Pron thing. I literally have dealt with the same thing. I’ve also tried covenant eyes and different methods. You a real one for that.

      I've found really good success with covenant eyes and this dumbify setup overall. You still using it?

    Really appreciate your vulnerability in this video Zach. So many of us guys are exposed to pron at such young ages, it’s crazy how normal it is. It’s a real fight to kill that addiction, but for anyone reading this, it IS possible.
    Love the video as always and has me wondering if I should also experiment with dumbifying my phone.

      Thank you dude, and you're so right that it really is possible to overcome. You just have to make some really tough choices and stay consistent. This kind of stuff is becoming more and more important to me now that I have a kid growing up in the tech era, I wanna get a handle on all of it before he's conscious lol

    I always wanted to switch to a motorola razor flip phone but knew i would miss my maps and spotify, this dumbify app seems like a good alternative!

    • @ZachMayfield

      yeah man it's a pretty solid alternative overall! I'll probably do a long term review after a couple months

    Really enjoyed the video! I'm strongly considering trying out your methods! Also, it is really cool to realize that you edited Matt's videos back in the day considering he used to be one of my favorite creators on this platform and now you're higher on that list for me. Maybe it was your editing all along, haha!

    • @ZachMayfield

      I really encourage you to try it out, especially since it's free! But yeah man I had a great time working with Matt, he's such a legend. Might even see him around here reeeeaaal soon 👀

      Heck yes, I find myself remembering things much better since I'm physically writing it down instead of just throwing it into an app.
