Features & Capabilities

Pause before you scroll. Hold to choose consciously, use distracting apps only for the time you need, then get paused again. No hard blocks. Try Premium free for 7 days.

Your thumb opens the app before you've decided to. HoldOn catches that automatic reach and creates a moment to choose before the scroll starts.

BREAK THE AUTOPILOT Choose the apps and websites that pull you in most. The next time you try to open one, HoldOn interrupts the automatic pattern and asks you to make the decision consciously. No hard lock. No guilt. Just a moment between impulse and action.

HOLD TO WAKE HoldOn's signature intervention makes continuing an active choice. Press and hold for 8 seconds while HoldOn brings your attention back to the decision. Change your mind? Just let go. If you still want the app, finish the hold and continue intentionally.

CHOOSE HOW MUCH TIME YOU ACTUALLY NEED If you decide to continue, choose a session from 1 to 10 minutes. When that time ends, HoldOn protects the app again. Need more time? You can choose again. The goal isn't to stop you from using your phone. It's to stop 10 intentional minutes from becoming 45 unconscious ones.

OTHER WAYS TO PAUSE Different moments call for different interventions: • Hold to Wake — actively hold before continuing • Breathing — slow down with a guided breathing pause • Reflection — notice the urge before reacting • Intention Check — reconnect with why you're opening the app Choose the experience that works best for you.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS HoldOn helps you see what happens when you interrupt autopilot: • Conscious decisions • Attempts interrupted • Time reclaimed • Current and longest streaks • Weekly progress Over time, the goal is simple: less automatic scrolling, more intentional use.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL HoldOn creates friction without taking away your freedom. You always have a way to stop protection, change your settings, or consciously continue. Your attention is your life. Take it back.

HoldOn is free to try. Premium unlocks the full intervention library and Insights. Privacy Policy: https://www.getholdon.com/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
