Description
Pause It is the first app blocker that lets you pause the internet for chosen apps, while every other app on your device keeps working normally with full internet access. No more turning off WiFi or mobile data for your whole phone just to escape one distracting app. With Pause It, you choose exactly which app goes offline — everything else stays connected. 🔷 How Pause It works Select any app that's disturbing you — WhatsApp, Instagram, games, anything — and pause its internet connection instantly. The rest of your device, and every other app, continues working exactly as normal. You don't need to turn off WiFi or mobile data at all. Important: make sure the app you want to pause isn't running in the background before you pause it, for the best results. 🔷 Focus without distraction Watch your favorite videos on YouTube, work, or study without interruption — only the apps you've chosen to pause lose their internet connection. Everything you actually want to use keeps working. Complete focus and peace, without cutting yourself off from what matters. 🔷 Relax during time with people who matter On a date with your loved one, spending time with family, or in an office meeting where you need internet but not message notifications? Just use Pause It. Distracting apps won't bother you anymore, while you stay reachable and connected through the apps you actually need. 🔷 Meeting Mode Want to pause an app for a specific duration? Just select the app and set the time. That's it — the selected app has no internet or data access until the timer ends. When the duration is up, it reconnects automatically. Simple, and it just works. 🔷 Gaming Mode Playing a tournament and want zero interruptions? Select every other app on your device and pause them, leaving only your game connected to the internet. No background app notifications, no data-hungry apps slowing your connection, no disturbance — only gaming. Gamers love this during high-intensity matches where every bit of focus and bandwidth counts. 🔷 Parental Control Pause It also works as a simple parental control tool. Temporarily disable specific apps on your child's device to encourage focused, controlled usage — without locking the entire phone or taking away access to apps they still need. 🔷 How Pause It works with VPN (and your privacy) When Pause It is active, it sets up a local VPN connection on your device and routes the selected app's data through it. For apps you've paused, that data simply has nowhere to go beyond the VPN — so it stays dormant, goes nowhere, and is never monitored, logged, or sent anywhere. Pause It only controls connectivity; it doesn't read or track your data. 🔷 Why people use Pause It
Focus mode for work, study, or deep focus sessions Relax and unplug from social apps without losing internet on the apps you need Meeting mode to silence chat apps for a set time Gaming mode for zero-interruption tournaments and matches Parental control without locking the whole device

App is actually useful the only thing which gives pain is if app is open in recent tab then it will work, and suddenly it gets turned off and WhatsApp resets again please fix this problem otherwise app is actually useful

Holidays are holidays once more! I used another sim for a second WhatsApp for family to stay in touch, and can pause the main WhatsApp's relentless distractions. Thankfully it only Pauses the main WhatsApp. For me, it works better than just stopping notifications, as the sender can see that the message has not been delivered. And I like that you can still get the messages, but at a time of your choosing.

Possibly not what I was looking for. I want something that will pause apps without having to pause each one individually. Downloaded and pick the apps needed to pause and then this app wanted to install a VPn, for what reason it was unexplained, but I took the app off. Should not have to do a 3rd party software install in order to try the app, nor should my phone be monitored. Advertising in the free version is understandable, let me try the app without forcing a software install to do it.

So stupid app, why requires VPN just to pause an app??? That doesn't make any sense!!! What pausing or blocking app have to do with internet connection??? This is so stupid and the ADS made it even the worst app ever.
