App Description

Friction helps you stop doomscrolling by making screen time intentional.

Instead of opening distracting apps automatically, Friction asks you to complete a quick challenge first. Do a few push-ups, squats, or a plank, and earn scrolling time on purpose.

How it works:
• Connect Screen Time and choose the apps you want to control
• Complete short physical challenges to unlock access
• Earn minutes based on reps and track your progress
• Build better habits through small, repeatable actions

Why Friction:
• Breaks impulsive scrolling loops
• Turns “just 5 minutes” into a conscious choice
• Helps you train discipline daily, not occasionally
• Clean, fast flow designed for real-world use

Privacy-first by design:
• Exercise detection runs on-device
• We do not collect, store, or share your Screen Time data
• Challenge processing stays local to your device

If you’re serious about reducing mindless scrolling and reclaiming your focus, Friction is built for you.

Subscription notice:
• Friction uses an auto-renewable subscription to access paid features
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase
• Subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings

If you’re serious about reducing mindless scrolling and reclaiming your focus, Friction is built for you.
