The document proposes a social funding program to help people overcome phone addiction. It outlines signs of phone addiction and describes a crowdfunding model where an addict's friends would fundraise a goal to incentivize the addict to limit phone use for up to 60 days using a monitoring app. If the addict complies with app restrictions on non-essential phone functions, the money is returned to fundraisers. If not, the funding site keeps 10-20% of funds raised to support operating costs. Details are provided on app functionality, payment processing, marketing, and goals for the proposed phone addiction treatment program.
