Abstract: While smartphones have positively transformed how we live, work, and communicate, concerns about their impact on individual wellbeing have driven research toward solutions that promote more intentional and mindful usage. In this context, Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs) aim to help users regulate their technology consumption, but their interventions often remain rigid, offering limited customization and treating users as passive recipients rather than active creators of their own digital wellbeing strategies.
