The short version
What is Slapback — Your phone finally fights back?
Slapback is a focus application for iPhone that uses motion-based triggers to enforce productivity sessions. Users place their phone face down to start a session, and if the phone is picked up before the session ends, the app triggers a vibration, sound, and a roast on the screen while keeping selected apps and websites locked until tasks are completed.
