Matter Neuroscience

Matter Neuroscience is the company co-founded by Ben Goldhersh and mentioned in Trying to stay off your phone? There’s an app for that. The episode says the company is developing a six-pound phone case priced at $209, making phone use physically burdensome as a way to reduce casual scrolling.

In the wiki, Matter Neuroscience is an example of Screen Time Friction moving from software prompts into physical product design. Its proposed case sits inside the Digital Detox Economy, where consumers pay for devices that make a phone less convenient to use.
