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.
