This is actually a bit of a misnomer at the moment, we need to update our messaging - but you can in fact restrict any websites you want. To do it, open clearspace and tap one of the apps you've already set up. Then click the "web

love this callout, this is definitely on our roadmap. we refer to it internally as "one-tweet." basically - we'd love to be able to either 1. render that single tweet on the shield so you don't even have to enter the app

Ultimately, this wouldn't be the worst thing. We actually hope that a lot more attention will be paid this issue by the big players (from a personal and mission standpoint). That being said, we don’t actually think the best party to ha

This is INCREDIBLY cool. And yes - the breathe screen definitely does get old, but fortunately the friction continues to do its job. Would you be interested in collabing?

- fair enough, for some users they reach us at a point of "I'm wholesale re-arranging my digital life RIGHT NOW" so they'd prefer to subscribe annually at signup and remove all barriers to better digital habits while the

yes - more and more research is cropping up around the chemical response to social media usage but here's a particularly succinct paper - dopamine reward is absolutely associated. https://www.iomcworld.org/open-access&#

yes - you can. this works "out of the box" for safari (ie - if you add facebook, you'll have to go through friction to reach facebook.com on safari without doing anything else.) we just added support for chrome and other brow

great question. a few ways 1. no, we're more expensive (at least last I checked they were 3.99/mon we're 6.99/mon or 44.99/yr) 2. yes we just rolled out website support this week. 3. no manual shortcut setup. just o

more tactically: 1. we hit you with friction every time you enter an app you want to moderate your engagement with. with screen time limits, as long as you're under your budget, you'll get through no problem. in time this means

a few ways! but the most succinct answer is that with clearspace, no learned behavior path can become a compulsive habit for quickly getting more scrolling. every configuration of screen time limits we've tried has ended with us learni

appreciate that! definitely working through the bugs one by one - both bugs in our code and frankly bugs in the ScreenTime API itself. but we're starting to converge on a stable state, and to their credit Apple has been fairly responsi

Thanks - just want to emphatically disagree that technology has no place in this discussion. The alternative - "just stop scrolling" doesn't work well for me, personally. Just like non-alcoholic beverages are useful for peopl

I don't think I plugged anything. I shared the best thing I've found to partially solve this problem in my own life (open source software I have no relationship to), shared that my full time job is working on this problem (because

Been there - still am. self-control ( https://selfcontrolapp.com/ ) is the nuclear tool in my anti-scrolling arsenal. If you figure out how to get around it please do not tell me - it's the best thing I've found for
