Nudge

Mindful browsing with intentional friction. A 10-second pause to break the cycle of impulsive scrolling.

Nudge introduces intentional friction to break the cycle of impulsive browsing. HOW IT WORKS When you visit a site on your blocklist (Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc.), Nudge shows a calming full-screen overlay with a breathing animation. After 10 seconds, you can choose to continue or close the tab. This isn't about blocking. It's about awareness. WHY FRICTION WORKS Modern apps are designed to be frictionless—one tap and you're scrolling. This removes the space between impulse and action. Nudge restores that space with a simple question: "Is this a conscious choice?" Often, 10 seconds is all it takes. The urge passes. You remember what you were trying to do. And if you still want to continue? That's fine—now it's a decision, not a reflex.
