Introduction
How one sec Reduces Screen Time
- Core Functionality: The app introduces mandatory "loading screens" or friction before allowing access to addictive social media apps like Instagram and TikTok.
- Intervention Methods:
- Self-Reflection: Forces the user to look at themselves via the front-facing camera for a few seconds.
- Physical Action: Requires the user to physically spin their phone three times before the app unlocks.
- Primary Goal: To help users break impulsive checking habits and reduce overall screen time.
