You unlock your phone over 80 times a day. Backdrop reclaims those moments, using your existing screen time to quietly rewire your subconscious. Unlike traditional habit trackers that rely on push notifications and willpower, Backdrop operates entirely in the background. By leveraging clinical autosuggestion and psychological priming, your environment quietly reprograms your habits while you focus on living. FEATURES: • Ambient Reprogramming: Dynamic Home & Lock screen widgets that rotate your cues passively. • The Mental Library: Over 100 clinical autosuggestions for focus, anxiety, and breaking bad habits. • StandBy Mode Integration: Transform your nightstand into a subconscious anchor while you sleep. • Zero Friction: No annoying push notifications. Set it once, and let your subconscious do the rest. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://fernanochoa.com/Backdrop/privacy
