Mindful Pause — Block Distracting Sites & Stay Focused

Beat doomscrolling: a calm pause before distracting sites, plus focus sessions that block them. Take back your attention.

Mindful Pause helps you break the doomscrolling habit — gently. Instead of willpower alone, it puts a calm, breathing pause between you and the sites that eat your time. Most of the time, the urge passes. ✦ HOW IT WORKS • Add the sites that distract you (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit… — a starter list is included). • When you open one, Mindful Pause shows a breathing screen and a short countdown before you can proceed. • Choose “Nevermind, go back” — or proceed, with a grace window so you’re not nagged every second. ✦ FOCUS SESSIONS • Start a 25 / 50 / 90-minute focus session and your blocked sites are fully locked — no “proceed”. • A gentle “back to work” screen keeps you on track. ✦ STAYS ENCOURAGING • See how many times you paused and turned back — small wins add up. ✦ PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs locally. No account, no tracking, no external requests. Your block list never leaves your device. Take back your attention — install and breathe.
