## What is App Blocker?

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.

— BreathScroll Pro —

with a free 7-day trial. After the trial, your subscription
