FAQ

Do notifications cause every work phone check?

No. Many checks happen without a notification. That is why the app opening moment matters.

Should I put my phone in another room?

That can work for deep blocks. If it is not realistic, start with a pause before the apps that break work most often.

Why is this high business intent?
