Forepause: Adult Digital Detox

Adult digital detox. One trivia question before you scroll.

Adult digital detox. One question before you scroll.

Forepause is a screen time app that puts one trivia question before the apps you choose. Answer correctly, then open for 5, 15, or 30 minutes — or read the explanation and walk away. The choice is yours.

No streaks. No leaderboards. No guilt. The only things that grow are your correct answers and the time you get back.

WHY ONE QUESTION WORKS A short pause before opening an app is one of the few screen-time interventions backed by published evidence. Friction-design research published in PNAS in 2023 found that a brief moment of friction reduced social media use by about 57%. Forepause turns that pause into a quick chance to learn something.

WHAT YOU GET • One trivia question before the apps you choose — it appears the moment you tap the icon • Clear explanations that turn every answer into something worth remembering • Intentional opening: choose 5, 15, or 30 minutes after a correct answer • Time reclaimed: see how much time you got back this week • Your patterns: a weekday-by-hour heatmap shows when you actually scroll • Schedules: make the intervention stronger during the hours you choose

PRIVACY, FOR REAL • No account. No server. No cloud. • Your Screen Time usage data never leaves your iPhone • No ads and no tracking across apps or websites

PRICING, HONESTLY The core quiz intervention is free, forever. Forepause Pro unlocks unlimited apps, unlimited schedules, and full history through an annual plan with a 7-day free trial or a one-time purchase. Your local price is always shown before purchase.

Forepause is for adults managing their own screen time. It is not a parental control app.
