Why Grayscale?

Turning your iPhone to grayscale is one of the quickest and simplest ways to promote healthier interaction with your device. Grayscale strips away the eye-catching allure of vibrant colors, which apps use to keep users engaged, reducing the 'digital dopamine' that often leads to addictive scrolling and excessive screen time. The lack of color can make the device less stimulating, helping to curb device usage and promoting an overall healthier amount of screen time engagement.
