It guides you though designing a new app icon that will replace the app you'd like you use less (let's say facebook). When you click on the new 'facebook' icon, it will load facebook . . . but first, it will load a 3-12 second breathing exercise. That does two things -- 1) it breaks your flow state, so that you have a minute to ask if this is what you really want to be doing, and 2) weakens the stimulus-->response loop that made you open the app in the first place.
How do we know how long to make the pause? By monitoring your past engagement with that app and the other apps you're trying to use less, Space tries to guess if you're being "deliberate" or "compulsive." Deliberate opens get a shorter break, compulsive opens got a longer break.
