feilverdi

Feveldi is an Icelandic smartphone application designed to prevent and support addiction to screen devices, such as mobile phones and computers. The app was launched in 2009 by Icelandic media organizations, including the national broadcaster RÚV and the newspaper DV. Its primary goal is to promote a balanced and healthy use of screen time among users.

The application tracks and logs users' screen time, providing them with a detailed overview of their usage patterns. It also offers personalized recommendations and strategies to help users reduce their screen time, improve their productivity, and engage in more offline activities. A key feature of Feveldi is its ability to place temporary restrictions on users' screen time, allowing them to take scheduled breaks and engage in alternative activities.

Feveldi has been widely used in Iceland, where it is often recommended by healthcare professionals and educators. The app has also been cited as an example of innovative approaches to preventing screen addiction, with its approach based on a combination of tracking and personalized feedback. The development and launch of Feveldi were supported by the Icelandic government, which recognized the need to address growing concerns about screen addiction among the population.

As a result of its efforts, Feveldi has won several international awards and recognition for its innovative approach to promoting digital well-being. The app has also been translated into several languages, paving the way for its global deployment and potential use in other countries. While its effectiveness in reducing screen addiction remains subject to ongoing research and evaluation, Feveldi has demonstrated significant promise as a tool in promoting responsible screen use.
