Description
Multiple strategies to control your screen time, block apps, and stay focused.
⏳ Pause Screen before opening apps Take a moment before launching a distracting app. The customizable pause screen shows your current usage data, helping you break the autopilot habit and make an informed decision before you start scrolling.
⏱️ Interrupt scrolling with session limits When using an app, decide beforehand exactly how long you want to use it for. Once your session ends, you will be paused again, preventing doomscrolling and helping you regain screen time control.
🚫 Set Daily Usage Limits Define daily limits for any app. Once a limit is hit, choose your strategy to restrict screen time: from a simple app block to a time multiplier that makes the pause screen longer.
📅 App Block Schedule Automatically block apps and limit screen time at specific times (e.g., 9 am - 5 pm). It’s the essential screen time app for maintaining focus during work, study, or sleep.
------------------
✨ Additional Features
✔️ Mindful Breathing: Turn any pause screen into a wellness exercise. ✔️ Productive Swaps: Swap a distracting app for a "Good App" (like a book reader). ✔️ Screen Time Tracker: Monitor your usage in real-time with a non-intrusive floating timer.
💎 Pause+ (Optional Upgrade)
✔️ Unlimited Profiles: Create as many profiles as you need (Work, Study, or Evening) to manage screen time for different contexts. ✔️ Support a solo developer building tools for self control and focus.

Using this instead of Ascent because a lot of customization is available for free :) the pausing can literally save your life, download this asap!! Ty developer you're the best 🫂
★★★★★Matěj Prášek· Jul 11, 2025
Exactly the app I've been looking for a while. Does exactly what is supposed to be doing, bug free. Great customization options. Samiul, the main developer, listens to feedback and does a great job following on that. Can't recommend more.
★★★★★Miftha Hul Jannat· Aug 30, 2025
The bug was fixed! Great concept on "pausing" instead of blocking for apps that are necessary but distracting!! These simple but effective features have become my favorite; -pause screen with a custom message (better than quotes by other apps!) My message gives me time to reflect on why I opened the app -the pause screen has an option to open an alternative app. I use "notes app" in case I need to jot down some to-do instead of being distracted. -floating timer -avg screen time stat

Poorly made. Was expecting a seamless overlay but was instead met with an unsatisfying jump between apps as it reminded me to stay away from distractions. Functional but not yet professional

When opening app selected to be paused, it pops up for a second, closes, and pops up again, reseting the pause. Over and over, indefinitely.
