Most social apps are designed to keep you scrolling. Less is designed to do the opposite. Log your daily screen time, share it with friends, and actually use your phone less — together. No likes. No comments. No algorithm. Less is deliberately boring — and that's the point. Your time is more valuable than your scroll. Changing habits alone is hard. Sharing your screen time with friends — even just a number — makes it easier. That's all Less does. And that's enough.
