MathPause – Website Usage Control

Website blocker that helps reduce distractions by solving a math problem before accessing sites.

MathPause — Mindful Website Blocker with Math Unlock MathPause is a lightweight website blocker designed to reduce distractions and help you build more intentional browsing habits. Instead of permanently blocking websites, MathPause introduces a small pause before access. When you visit a restricted site, you can unlock it by solving a short math problem and choosing how long the site should remain accessible. This small interruption helps break automatic browsing behavior and encourages more mindful decisions. MathPause is designed for people who want to stay focused while still maintaining flexible control over their browsing. --- How It Works 1. Add distracting websites to your block list. 2.
