Presence - Stop doom-scrolling with mindful friction, not hard blocks

Most screen time apps either guilt you with data or lock you out completely. Presence takes a different approach: mindful friction. Before you open a distracting app, Presence creates a brief, dynamic pause not a wall, just a moment. The prompt changes each time so your brain can't adapt and skip it. You can still open the app. You just have to choose to. Over time, the reflexes weaken. The habit actually changes because you built it, not because an app forced it.
