Clearspace is a startup (founders Royce and Ollie) building a Chrome extension that inserts 'cognitive friction' — a 15‑second reading prompt and time‑budget unlocks (e.g., one‑minute sessions) — to curb compulsive app openings. After 10+ million interventions, they report users cancel over half of impulsive opens; they plan to extend personalized 'digital protocols' across phones, PCs and smart TVs.
