What is anti-engagement?

Most apps want to maximize your time spent. We don't.

The Problem

Traditional social media is designed to be addictive:

  • Infinite scroll
  • Push notifications
  • Algorithmic rabbit holes
  • Engagement metrics everywhere
  • These features benefit the company, not you.

    Our Approach

    CoLab measures success differently:

  • **Time saved**, not time spent
  • **Quality connections**, not follower counts
  • **Useful**, not addictive
  • What This Means in Practice

  • No infinite scroll
  • No algorithmic feed
  • No flashy notification badges
  • No engagement metrics visible to you
  • No "streaks" or artificial urgency
  • The Result

    Open CoLab, do what you need, close it. We're a tool, not a trap.
