About
Friction Code helps you make your Screen Time passcode harder to access impulsively.
If you use Apple Screen Time to set app limits, downtime, or content restrictions, you may know the problem: the passcode works until you can reveal it too easily. Friction Code adds an intentional pause between wanting the code and seeing it.
Store your Screen Time passcode securely on your device, then reveal it only after completing a challenge. Choose between a Sudoku challenge or a timed multiplication challenge. Once completed, your passcode appears briefly, giving you access when you truly need it while making impulsive bypassing harder.
Friction Code is designed for people trying to reduce screen time, break compulsive app habits, and create stronger digital boundaries.
Features:
Store your Screen Time passcode locally on your device
Add friction before revealing the code
Choose Sudoku or multiplication challenges
Brief passcode reveal window
Simple setup and replacement flow
Built for focus, self-control, and healthier phone use
Friction Code does not control Screen Time settings directly. It helps you protect the passcode you use with Apple Screen Time, so your limits are harder to override in a weak moment.
