Applicatio Deletio Permanens

(App Deleted, this time permanently)

Dosage	One (1) formal deletion of the app patient has deleted and reinstalled 14 times, followed by blocking the app at the OS level for 90 days
Frequency	One-time reset; repeat at each reinstallation
Duration	90 days minimum
Refills	Unlimited — the app will, apparently, still be downloadable in three months if patient still wants it then

Side effects May include the specific phantom thumb-twitch toward the app icon that is no longer there, the urge to 'just check once on the browser version,' and — critically — the observation that the 14-cycle delete-reinstall pattern had been, apparently, the app's most profitable engagement metric.
