Pause: Doomscroll Blocker

Stop doomscrolling before it starts. A calm puzzle sits between you and the apps you open on autopilot—so scrolling becomes a choice, not a reflex.

Pause helps you scroll on purpose. Lowers your screen time.

We all reach for the same apps on autopilot. Pause puts a small, calming puzzle between you and those apps, so opening one becomes a choice, not a reflex.

HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps you want to pause. • When you try to open one, Pause asks you to solve a quick puzzle first. • Solve it, and the app unlocks for 15 minutes of intentional use. • When time's up, the pause comes back automatically.

That tiny moment of friction is enough to break the autopilot—and remind you why you picked up your phone in the first place.

NINE CALMING PUZZLES Word Jumble, Mini Crossword, Sliding Tile, Ball Sort, Connect the Colors, Maze, Sixdoku, and more. Every unlock is a small mental reset instead of a mindless tap.

DESIGNED FOR INTENTION, NOT RESTRICTION Pause isn't about locking yourself out—it's about adding just enough space to choose. No guilt, no lectures. Just a gentle pause.

Your privacy comes first. Pause uses Apple's Screen Time technology, and the apps you choose never leave your device.

Scroll less by accident. Scroll more on purpose.
