## Description

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.
