PausePilot

Pause before the scroll starts

PausePilot helps you interrupt automatic scrolling before it takes over.

Instead of trying to fix distraction after it already happened, PausePilot creates a small pause right when selected apps open. That pause helps you remember why you opened the app, choose what to do next, and return with more intention.

PausePilot is built for people who want a calmer, more intentional relationship with apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, news apps, shopping apps, or other personal trigger apps.
