About
Pause before you scroll. BreathScroll is a mindful app blocker that
turns every impulsive tap into a calm breathing pause — block
Instagram, TikTok, and the apps that pull you in.
Every time you reach for the social app you didn't really mean to
open — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube — BreathScroll meets you with
a breath. Not a block. Not a guilt trip. Just a moment.
And the more you meditate, the gentler that moment becomes.
— How it works —
1. Choose the apps that pull you in.
2. When you tap one, BreathScroll invites you into a breathing pause.
3. Pass through the pause, and the app opens for a few minutes.
4. Meditate daily, and tomorrow's pauses get shorter.
— What makes it different —
Most screen-time apps are built around restriction: lock, schedule,
punish. BreathScroll is built around intentionality. The friction is
always there — but it's calm, not aggressive. Meditation isn't how
you earn more screen time. It's how you train yourself to need the
friction less.
— A daily practice —
Set a meditation goal that fits you, from 15 minutes to two hours a
day. Keep your streak alive on the Home Screen widget. Notice your
pauses get softer over time.
— Honest about how it works —
BreathScroll uses Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time APIs. When
you tap a blocked app, iOS shows its system shield first; you then
open BreathScroll for the breathing pause. We can't intercept in
place — but we believe the small extra step is part of the practice.
— Privacy —
We don't see which apps you block, how often you open them, or what
you do inside them. Apple's Screen Time APIs keep that on your device.
