Checky - Phone Habit Tracker
By Calm.com
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
Checky answers a simple question: how many times a day do I check my phone?
By giving you insight into your phone checking habit, Checky helps you become more aware. This awareness can help you make changes to your phone usage, if you feel you need to make a change!
It's also fun to find out exactly how much you are using your phone, and to compare your stats with friends.
If you like the app, please take the time to rate it! It's pretty painless, and it'll keep our boss from making us add those annoying "please rate us" popups.

Please be aware that Checky requires continued location tracking. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Works well and has big impact
I never write reviews but I will chime in on Checky I’ve found after a week I’m reducing mindless checking of phone and saving quite a bit of battery life during the day as a good side effect.
This app works quite well, much better than other ‘trackers’ I’ve seen which require explicit start/stop/pause. This app works quite well in the background . I’d like to see them add more options and (such as, if you check to get a phone call, you could exclude that one in the count) and keeping track of stats longer than a week.
Overall great, I’ll keep using it for sure.
Does one job and does it well!
Very nice. Simplicity is great! Awareness of how often you check your phone is an important step of decreasing unnecessary time spent on it. For those who question about location tracking- they use location services so that it can constantly run in the background.
Why do you need my location??
Quite frankly, I do not want anyone, especially not a giant corporation, to know exactly where I am and exactly where I was at any point in time. Every, and I mean every, passive time-tracking app I have tried has required location services to be on at all times. Why does it even need my location? Why is there no option for it not to track my location and just how many times I check my phone? Come on.
