## About Us

Clearspace is a tool for people who want to stop getting trapped scrolling, quit checking apps out of habit, and use their phones more intentionally. Instead of blocking access entirely, we interrupt the autopilot moment right before you open a distracting app—so you can decide if you actually want to proceed.

Clearspace makes it easier to *do nothing* instead of opening Reels, TikTok, or Instagram without thinking. Whether you're breaking a habit, building better screen hygiene, or trying to stay focused, Clearspace gives you space to choose.

## What We Do (Features)

- [Friction Before Use](https://getclearspace.com): Add a short pause—like a breath, reflection, or physical action—before opening addictive apps.
- [Group Screen Time](https://getclearspace.com): See your daily screen time next to your friends' for mutual accountability.
- [Social Accountability](https://getclearspace.com): Invite partners or friends to help you stick to your goals, share usage, and build healthier habits together.
- [Focus Sessions](https://getclearspace.com): Temporarily lock distracting apps for a focus period—no self-control needed.
- [Relapse Detection](https://getclearspace.com): Track when and how often you override your own limits, so you can understand and improve your patterns over time.
