“They are taking the medium to long term view that, essentially, if you name and shame enough of these then apps will gradually improve their behavior,” said Johnny Lin, the co-founder of San Francisco company Lockdown, which makes a tracker-blocking app. “It puts pressure on Apple’s competitors, like Facebook and Google. They’re forced to change a little bit, they’re forced to adapt.”
Every time Leroy loads a new app, she disables notifications. “That’s my default,” she says. As Cox adds, “These notifications do train us to respond. And they’re very effective. That’s why all the companies use them. And that’s why we need to fight, quietly, by switching them off.”

But you don’t need to be trapped in the wretched disaster of reality. You can escape to a new virtual life filled with healthy relationships, happy children, a spouse who never brings up your life insurance policy, and a nuclear family that isn’t radioactive.

I also use Spotlight on my Mac to launch or switch apps. And Spotlight will surprise me -- not in a good way -- now and then. Here are two real-life examples that happened to me:
a) When I type "fin" to switch to Finder, it will most of the time, except occasionally it decide to launch "Find My" instead.
b) When I type "pre" to switch to Preview, it will most of the time, except occasionally it decide to launch "System Preferences" instead.
