Description
Break phone addiction, stop social media addiction, and regain control of your time. App Pause is a digital wellbeing app that introduces mindful friction before you open distracting apps and websites. It is your all-in-one app blocker, website blocker, and screen time tracker.
⏳ Pause Before You Open Take a moment before launching a distracting app or opening a blocked website. The customizable pause screen shows your usage data, helping you break the autopilot habit and make mindful choices.
🌐 Website Blocker for All Major Browsers Block distracting websites across all major Android browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and DuckDuckGo. It is the perfect social media blocker to stop mindless browsing on Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, and more.
⏱️ App Session Timer: Break Doomscrolling Set a session timer before opening any app. Once your session ends, you'll be paused again. This is the most effective way to stop doomscrolling and enforce your own screen time limits.
🚫 Daily App Limits & App Blocker Define daily limits for any app. Once a limit is reached, choose your approach: from a full app block to a time multiplier that makes each subsequent pause screen longer.
📅 Schedule Your Digital Detox Automatically block apps and websites at specific times (e.g., 9 am - 5 pm). As an essential focus app for work, study, or sleep, you can build a distraction blocker schedule that works for you.
✨ 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 app and website usage with a floating timer and 7-day bar chart. ✔️ Multi-Window Support: Works in split-screen and floating window modes.
💎 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.
📝 A Note from Samiul
I built App Pause because I found myself unlocking my phone and opening social media apps completely on autopilot. Standard hard blockers didn't work for me, as I would just bypass them. I needed a tool that forced me to take a breath and think. I build and maintain this app independently to help all of us improve our focus and build healthier digital habits. If you have feedback or ideas, please reach out!
⚙️ Technical Details
App Pause uses Accessibility Services to detect when distracting apps are launched or blocked websites are visited. This ensures the app blocker and website blocker work reliably. No personal data is ever collected or shared.

Comments on App Pause: Mindful Screen Time for Android
★★★★★Radhey· Jul 8, 2026
Exactly I wanted, but it's a bit slower, the screen comes after a bit of delay. Please if you can remove it, as the pause screen should immediately open I guess. Otherwise, top app...
★★★★★K Abraham· Aug 29, 2026
Really nice app 👍 also would be cool if you can add an option to add different custom messages in the pause screen. And then on each pause screen, it would show a random one each time, from all messages that you've added.
★★★★★Cameron Brown· Jun 25, 2026
Excellent app and a really responsive developer. I've tried loads of locking apps and this has been the most effective in limiting my screen time. Good pricing for the premium tier as well, but it offers all core features for free.
★☆☆☆☆Fracros DÖP· Sep 27, 2025
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.
★★☆☆☆Teus· Oct 6, 2025
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
