About

Every time you open TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, Pause stops you for 5 seconds and asks one question: is this really what you want to do right now?

  No hard blocks. No shame. Just friction — right at the moment of autopilot.

  How it works
  • Opens a pause screen before the feed loads
  • Ask yourself why you're here (bored, stressed, procrastinating, taking a break)
  • Wait 5 seconds, then choose: go back or let yourself in
  • Either way, it's now a conscious choice

  What it tracks
  • Visits — times you proceeded anyway
  • Resists — times you chose to go back
  • Streak — consecutive days you stayed mindful

  What it doesn't do
  • No account required
  • No data leaves your device — everything is stored locally
  • No hard blocks or judgment
  • After 10 minutes, it won't interrupt again on the same site

  Built for people who want to quit the scroll habit gradually — not cold turkey.
