## Description

**App Pause: Mindful Screen Time** helps you reduce phone and social media addiction with mindful friction before opening distracting apps and websites. Use it as an app blocker, website blocker, screen time tracker, and focus tool for work, study, or sleep.

Block websites across Chrome, Firefox, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and other major Android browsers. Set app session timers, daily limits, scheduled blocks, and customizable pause screens that encourage mindful breathing and better decisions. Track app and website usage with floating timers and 7-day charts, or replace distracting apps with productive alternatives such as book readers.

App Pause supports multi-window modes and optional Pause+ profiles for different routines, including Work, Study, and Evening. The app uses Accessibility Services to detect blocked apps and websites reliably, while stating that no personal data is collected or shared.
