Mindful Pause — Block Distracting Sites & Stay Focused

About

Mindful Pause helps you break the doomscrolling habit — gently.

Instead of willpower alone, it puts a calm, breathing pause between you and the sites that eat your time. Most of the time, the urge passes.

✦ HOW IT WORKS
• Add the sites that distract you (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit… — a starter list is included).
• When you open one, Mindful Pause shows a breathing screen and a short countdown before you can proceed.
• Choose “Nevermind, go back” — or proceed, with a grace window so you’re not nagged every second.

✦ FOCUS SESSIONS
• Start a 25 / 50 / 90-minute focus session and your blocked sites are fully locked — no “proceed”.
• A gentle “back to work” screen keeps you on track.

✦ STAYS ENCOURAGING
• See how many times you paused and turned back — small wins add up.

✦ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything runs locally. No account, no tracking, no external requests. Your block list never leaves your device.

Take back your attention — install and breathe.
