Features & Capabilities

Pause before distracting apps. Build more intentional screen habits with mindful app openings, focus schedules, gentle reminders, and reclaimed-time tracking.

Polanthos helps you pause before opening distracting apps on your iPhone. It is for people who want to reduce automatic scrolling, use social media more intentionally, and spend less time getting pulled into apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, shopping, or entertainment apps.

Instead of blocking everything completely, Polanthos adds a short mindful pause before selected apps open. In that moment, you can breathe, decide if you really want to continue, close the app, or redirect your attention to something better.

Main features include app-based pauses, focus schedules, gentle reminders, reclaimed-time tracking, simple redirects, and a calm design with no ads, no social feed, and no shame-based dashboards.

The app is free to use. A paid plan is optional and can be skipped. All features described in this listing are accessible without purchase.

The app works and has good features that other apps would charge for. The todos should also work to check on your activity. Whether you’re actively meeting those goals and keep your streak alive. I get that it’s a very passive app, but a little encouragement can go a long way. The app has helped my productivity as well as helping me avoid constant scrolling. The emergency passes should have a cooldown that’s long so that you can’t abuse it, but I get that the app prioritizes NOT needing useless scrolling. Something else I noticed is that there is a shield streak, but I don’t really feel too obligated to want to continue it. Maybe if there was like a leaderboard or some other incentive to make me want to avoid deactivating my shield would make more sense. Other than that, good app. A lot better than others that want paid features.

Polanthos actuallt saved me from doomscrolling. If you get stuck doomscrolling Insta or TikTok and wasting time you could be productive TRY THIS APP. I went from 2 hours a day on IG to barely a few minutes. I’ve tried every other app and this is the only one that stuck. BONUS: you can gamble
