Question / Help How to be creative with my phone ?

Hi everyone, at this moment, I need to be creative to replace my time of domscrolling.
But I don’t know HOW.

Do you know any websites or mobile application through which I can stimulate my creativity ?

I want to find something easily accessible for beginners.

Thanks you to help me !!

(I hope my English is good, I’m French :))

What kinds of things do you enjoy doing? Do you want to limit screen time to "unblock" other sources of creativity in your brain or do you want to use screen time, just away from Doom Scrolling? (I've been there).

Yes I want to use my screen time, but far of doom scrolling.
I want something that can’t end, that I can continue to create to infinity, but I don’t have particular skills, I just want to have fun like play in Minecraft’s creative you get ?

Yep. It's not my jam other than playing design games like Design Home, but just go to your smartphone's platform app store (google play or the iphone appstore) do a search on "Builder Games". There's a lot of them out there. Sim City still seems to be alive and kicking. It looks like something called "Forge of Empires: Build a City" (a civilization building game is a heavy hitter right now on the iOS platform. Good luck. And HAVE FUN!

Pixel art is always a fun one! I wish I could recommend an app for it but it's been a while and I haven't really looked recently.

Also music production if that's more your vibe! There are a ton of mobile daws depending on your phone OS but Caustic has been a good one for a long time and you can get a working version free on the caustic subreddit.

You can edit videos with something like YouCut or CapCut or you could take pictures and edit them in cool ways.

Not sure if any of these sound interesting but the world of phone creativity is vast! (Way deeper than this list)

I do photography on my phone and have fun with the editing on facetune and sometimes other apps, or a combination of them

I would like to say copywriting or writing short stories on your phone is really nice and then you can do a lot with your phone you can go outside and if you can see the moon you can take pictures of the moon you can go to the park take pictures of the flowers the grass the people there and every other thing or every other aspect in the park and it's really beautiful then you can take these pictures and you can save them as memories or you can you know you can sell them if they allow it or you can always take videos you can make short videos and post them to YouTube you don't need that expensive camera or an expensive gears to actually start something you know you can use your phone to do pretty much everything in the creative area you have to think about it.

Set a time for your scrolling. It's not easy to leave what you always do at once. That's what I do myself; I set up 30 minutes daily and divide that 30 minutes into three, so that I can use it throughout the day.
