Your phone, your number
How to check how often you pick up your phone, and how to use it less at home.
How do I see how many times I picked up my iPhone today?
Open Settings → Screen Time → Daily Average. Tap Week for the weekly summary or Day for one day, then scroll down to Pickups. It shows how many times you picked up your devices. If Screen Time is off, turn on App & Website Activity first. The count starts from that moment.
How do I see how many times I opened my Android phone today?
Open Settings → Digital Wellbeing, then tap the chart. Times opened shows how often you unlocked the phone and opened each app. Menu names vary between phone makers. On a Samsung Galaxy, Digital Wellbeing in Settings also shows how many times you unlocked the phone.
What are pickups in Screen Time?
In Apple's Screen Time, a pickup is each time you wake your device to use it. Screen Time also shows which app you opened first after each pickup. Pickups measure how often you go back to the phone. Screen time measures how long you stay.
How can I use my phone less at home without relying on willpower?
Change the place, not yourself. Give the phone one fixed spot by the front door and leave it there when you walk in. You decide once, at the door, instead of a hundred times on the couch. You can still pick it up whenever you need it. It just stops being the default.
Where should I keep my phone when I get home?
Pick one fixed spot near the front door, out of sight of the couch and the bed, and put the phone there as you walk in. A shelf, a basket or a wall mount all work. What matters is that the spot is the same every day and sits on your way in.
About ZUZA
What it is, how it works, what it does not do, and where to get it.
What is ZUZA?
ZUZA is a magnetic phone plate that sticks to your front doorframe, plus a free app that counts how long your phone rests there. You walk in, place the phone, and get on with your evening. It costs $49 at zuzadoor.com (https://zuzadoor.com/en).
How does ZUZA work?
Stick the plate on your doorframe at hand height. When you come home, place your phone on it and walk in. The free app counts how long the phone stays there. When you take the phone, the count stops. It works with iPhone and Android phones that have a magnetic case or ring.
Does ZUZA lock my phone or block apps?
No. ZUZA does not lock the phone, block apps or charge it. It is a magnetic plate on your front doorframe plus a free app that counts how long the phone rests there. You can pick the phone up at any moment and the count simply stops. On Android, you can choose to let it turn on Do Not Disturb while the phone docks.
Can ZUZA turn on Do Not Disturb?
On Android, yes, if you choose to: turn it on in the app settings and grant the permission, and ZUZA puts the phone on Do Not Disturb while it docks, then returns it to its previous state on its own when you pick it up. On iPhone, Apple does not let apps change Focus or Do Not Disturb. You can set it up once in Apple's Shortcuts app, and the ZUZA app shows you how.
What does the ZUZA app collect about me?
Since October 2026 the app needs an account: you sign in with Apple, Google or an email code. It stores what it needs to count dock time and keep it across phones. It has no analytics SDK and no crash reporting, and it does not collect location, contacts, photos or ad identifiers.
Where do I buy ZUZA, and how do I install it?
Order at zuzadoor.com (https://zuzadoor.com/en): the ZUZA Kit is $49. Payment runs on a secure Hyp page, and the kit is sold by Dr. Yaacov Tzori. To install, peel and stick the plate on your doorframe at hand height: 3M adhesive, no drilling, no wiring.
