Décroche : Temps d'Écran

Decroche

About this app

You open Instagram automatically. You scroll through TikTok without even realizing it. You put your phone down and pick it up again 30 seconds later.

The French spend an average of 3 hours and 30 minutes a day on their smartphones.

Not by choice. Out of habit.

Decroche doesn't block anything. Decroche simply asks you a question at the right time.

HOW IT WORKS

When you open an app you've chosen to monitor—Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Snapchat, Reddit—Decroche displays a pause screen. A few seconds of guided breathing, a reminder of how many times you've opened that app today, and a question: "Do you really want to open this?"

Two buttons. Continue or go back. You decide. Always.

This principle of gentle friction is scientifically validated: a

study by the Max Planck Institute and the University of Heidelberg
shows that this type of intervention reduces time spent
on social media by 57%.

1. Choose the apps to monitor
2. Live your day — Disconnect only when you open an app
3. Breathe, reflect, choose
4. Track your progress with your Focus Score

WHAT YOU GET

Focus Score — A number from 0 to 100, each day. This is your
personal indicator of scroll resistance.

Statistics — Screen time per app, resisted vs. opened apps, 7-day trend.

25 badges to unlock as you progress.
