Detox Mode

A dedicated mode for Niagara Launcher to reduce digital distraction and encourage mindful phone use. It achieves this by making the interface less engaging and adding intentional friction to app access.Problem Solved: Helps users combat compulsive phone usage and reduce screen time by making the device less stimulating.Key Functionality:

  1. Grayscale Theme: Applies a subdued, grayscale visual theme to the launcher and potentially system-wide (if possible) to reduce visual appeal and stimulation.

  2. Aggressive Timers & Friction:

    • Stricter App Limits: Configurable, shorter daily usage limits for selected apps.

    • Delayed App Launch: A short, customizable delay before apps open after tapping their icon.

    • Cool-down Periods: Optional pauses enforced between opening frequently used apps to break rapid switching.

  3. "Boring" UI: Minimizes animations and potentially simplifies notification display to further reduce engagement.

  4. Flexible Activation: Easily toggled on/off, schedule-able for specific times, with a "Break Glass" override for emergencies.

Value Proposition: Enhances user well-being by promoting healthier digital habits, differentiates Niagara Launcher, and supports focus and productivity.
