What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games? (beehaw.org)

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I'm wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

A foss game Lexica - the word sources are quite diverse so it's very easy to learn new words.

I like making music, while phones aren't ideal there's definitely possibilities. Flip, G-Stomper, Koala Sampler and Kaossilator are my main go-to's.

And I use my phone notes quite a bit, be it for lyrics or just organizing my thoughts, things I want to get done, ways to do them, lists of things. I do a lot of this handwritten but it's handy having them written digitally too.
