The Problem
Habits form through frictionless repetition.
Every time you click without thinking, your brain remembers how easy it was.
No resistance. No pause. Just muscle memory building a habit you never chose.
How bad habits form:
Impulse
A fleeting urge to check something
Zero friction
One click, instant access
Reinforcement
Your brain learns the pattern
Autopilot
Now it's a habit
CleanTab adds the missing piece: friction.
Not to block you, but to break the autopilot. A pause before the click. A moment to choose differently.

Creates awareness in the moment of choice
Respects agency while providing structure

How friction works
Four mechanisms that break autopilot

What people are saying
"Finally, a blocker that doesn't treat me like a child. The passphrase feature makes me actually think before I click. My productivity has doubled."
"The streak system is genius. I haven't visited Reddit during study hours in 3 weeks. I'm not blocked — I'm just more aware."
"I tried 4 other blockers. They all felt restrictive. CleanTab feels like it's working with me, not against me. Game changer."
