Focus Pause: Screen Time

Open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube—or any app that tends to pull you in—and Focus Pause helps you stop for one breath before the scroll begins. Name your real purpose, set a limit, and decide with a clear mind whether you still want to continue.

NOT ANOTHER HARD BLOCKER
Focus Pause does not take your choice away. It adds a small moment of friction at the exact point an automatic habit starts. Continue when you have a reason. Walk away when you do not.

A COMPLETE HABIT LOOP
• Pause before opening: launch the Focus Pause flow automatically with iOS Shortcuts.
• Use with intention: choose or create a purpose, then set how long you plan to stay.
• Review what happened: see your open path, stop rate, recent sessions, and the app-purpose combinations that most often pull you through.
• Adjust the next attempt: refine a purpose, lengthen the breathing pause, or temporarily disable protection.
