What is Clearspace?

Clearspace is an app that puts a pause between you and your most distracting apps, and lets you set limits on each session. Three simple tools do the work:

Clearspace's breathing screen
Mindful pause

A breath before every distracting app

Clearspace asking how long you want to spend in YouTube
Session timers

Decide how long you'll spend in it

The Clearspace friends screen
Social budgets

Friends keep you accountable
