BringMeBack-Pause Social Apps

Bring Me Back — Mindful Pauses Before You Scroll

Bring Me Back can also block distracting apps and adult or custom websites. This uses Apple's Screen Time on your device to filter content you choose — everything stays on your device, and nothing about your browsing is collected or sent anywhere.

Ever open Instagram "just for a second" and lose 45 minutes? Slap My Hand places a gentle pause between you and your most distracting apps — giving you a moment to breathe, reflect, and choose intentionally.

How It Works Choose the apps you want to pause. Every time you open one, Slap My Hand steps in with a short mindfulness exercise — a breathing session, a grounding exercise, a gratitude prompt, or a simple delay. Complete the pause, then decide: do you still want to scroll?
