Backed By Science

Research consistently shows that grayscale displays significantly reduce screen time and problematic smartphone use. Studies have found that switching to grayscale reduces visual rewards and acts as a 'nudge' by increasing the annoyance of device use.

Scientific research demonstrates that grayscale can:

  • Reduce daily screen time by ~38 minutes on average
  • Particularly effective for habitual and social media users
  • Lower visual distractibility from phone screens
  • Significantly reduce player retention in mobile games
  • Aid in ethical disengagement from addictive apps
