Looks interesting, but it seems to be a landing page to gauge interest with no app available yet.

Edit: To be clear, I set my phone to grayscale a little while ago, so I'm aware that's built in to iOS. I think the additional features that this app idea is proposing on top of that feature are great, but it seems like the app does not yet exist (and perhaps not possible with iOS's limitations).

Not to mention that it's not clear at all that this is intended to de-feature your phone in order to make you use it less.

It's presumed that you have that context before you get here, I guess.

They provide workable instructions for creating this effect on Andriod and iOS, as it doesn't require an app as such.

If an app does come out of this, it'll probably be more about setting greyscale for different other apps.

you're right!

i give instructions for going gray on phones on the website, the app we're developing is desgined to make grayscale easier (whitelisting certain apps that is useful in colour, like google maps, etc).

The scrolljacking on that site is unconscionable.
