App Pause: Mindful Screen Time v0.30.2

Multiple strategies to control your screen time, block apps, and stay focused.

⏳ Pause Screen before opening apps
Take a moment before launching a distracting app. The customizable pause screen shows your current usage data, helping you break the autopilot habit and make an informed decision before you start scrolling.

⏱️ Interrupt scrolling with session limits
When using an app, decide beforehand exactly how long you want to use it for. Once your session ends, you will be paused again, preventing doomscrolling and helping you regain screen time control.

🚫 Set Daily Usage Limits
Define daily limits for any app. Once a limit is hit, choose your strategy to restrict screen time: from a simple app block to a time multiplier that makes the pause screen longer.

📅 App Block Schedule
Automatically block apps and limit screen time at specific times (e.g., 9 am - 5 pm). It’s the essential screen time app for maintaining focus during work, study, or sleep.

📝 A Note from Samiul

I built App Pause to beat my own phone addiction. My goal is to build a customizable tool that can help us use our phone with intention. I develop this app with ❤️ and ☕️. If you have feedback to help improve your screen time management, please reach out!

⚙️ Technical Details

App Pause provides an option to use Accessibility Services to detect when distracting apps are launched and trigger the app blocker. This ensures the pause screen works reliably to limit screen time. No personal data is ever collected or shared.
