Screen Habit App Launch Friction
Screen habit app launch friction adds steps before worst apps open—logout, buried icons, typed intention—so autopilot thumb taps pause on passive scroll targets.
Screen habit app launch friction adds steps before worst offenders open—logout each session, bury icons in folders, or require a typed intention on focus launchers—so autopilot thumb taps pause. Friction is not moralizing; it breaks cue-routine-reward loops on feeds and games.
Keep work tools one tap; add friction only to passive scroll targets. Review weekly as algorithms adapt.
Common questions
-
