01 / Overview

Is Defang safe?

Defang is an Android launcher with an anti-dark-pattern friction layer. It is a speed bump, not a wall: you can still open Instagram, you can still override the timer. Nothing here is impossible to bypass — that is deliberate. A wall breeds circumvention; a speed bump breeds pause. What it does: • Intent gate — tapping a watched app shows a full-screen pause with a countdown before "Open anyway"…
