Feeds keep you scrolling with rewards you can't predict. Refront turns that same uncertainty into a reason to stop.

An early prototype is in private testing.
It works against the habit, not against you.
- Interruptions you can't predict
- After a set amount of time (15 minutes by default), Refront starts breaking in with a burst of glitch at random moments, about every three minutes on average. Three different effects rotate so you don't get used to them.
- A few seconds of nothing
- Each interruption ends with the screen going dark. For a few seconds nothing responds, and the urge to keep tapping has room to fade.
- Easy to tighten, slow to loosen
- You set the rules yourself. Stricter settings take effect right away, but looser ones wait 24 hours, so you can't switch Refront off in a weak moment.
- Measured, not assumed
- Refront records how often you leave within 30 seconds of an interruption, so you can see whether it's actually working for you.
