Digital wellbeing has been a rising concern in the smartphone industry due to the growing addiction to smartphones amongst teens and young adults. So, to help users monitor their daily smartphone usage easily, Chinese giant OnePlus has introduced a nifty live wallpaper app that doubles as a digital wellbeing tool.
Appropriately dubbed the WellPaper app, it is essentially a live wallpaper that also shows what apps you use the most on your smartphone right on your homescreen. The app is developed by OnePlus’ internal experimental software team OneLab and is only available for Android.
The Glow design is inspired by future-punk titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Blade Runner. It is essentially a ring-based live wallpaper, where the neon-colored rings represent the category of the apps while their breadths depict the app usage.
Why Is It Needed?
So now, you might be thinking why is there a need for the WellPaper app when there are integrated digital wellbeing systems on Android and iOS. In fact, Google also released a series of digital wellbeing experimental apps last year.
