Intentional Friction
Why T Launcher makes things harder, not easier.
The Philosophy of Friction
Most launchers try to remove friction. They want you to open apps faster. T Launcher adds friction. We want you to open apps slower.
Why?
When an action is effortless, it becomes a habit. When it is a habit, it bypasses conscious thought. By adding a split-second delay or forcing you to read a text label, T Launcher forces your brain to engage.
"Do I actually want to open Instagram, or am I just bored?"
That split-second is usually enough to change your mind.
