SlowPulse

SlowPulse isn't another screen-time report you'll ignore. It's a one-second pause, right when it matters — the moment you tap open the app that empties your cart or your attention span. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you want SlowPulse to guard. The next time you open one, SlowPulse steps in first with a quick question instead of letting the app load straight away. • Shopping or trading apps: SlowPulse asks what problem the purchase solves, then tags it — planned, replacement, gift, or impulse — using on-device pattern detection. • Food delivery late at night: SlowPulse asks what's actually driving the order before checkout. • Social media, video, games, dating, or news: a short breathing pause and a simple "are you sure?" before you fall in. Every check-in takes under 10 seconds. It's not a lock, a timer, or a lecture — just a beat of friction where there used to be none. GUARD WHAT ACTUALLY GETS YOU • Shopping — where impulse buys happen • Social & Doomscroll — where minutes disappear • Food Delivery — late-night orders you regret • Trading & Gambling — the highest-stakes taps • Video & Streaming — "one more episode" territory • Games — sessions that outlast the plan • Dating — swiping that never quite resolves • News & Outrage — refreshing for something to be upset about Don't see an app you're worried about? Add it yourself — SlowPulse guards it the same way. SEE THE PATTERN Your dashboard tracks your streak and how many times you've paused today. Insights shows money saved (amounts you almost spent, then didn't), an estimate of time saved, and a weekly breakdown of spend by planned / replacement / gift / impulse — so you can see the pattern instead of just feeling it. BUILT ON APPLE'S SCREEN TIME On iPhone, SlowPulse uses Apple's Screen Time framework to shield the apps you choose — the same system-level technology behind parental controls, turned on yourself, by you. SlowPulse never learns which specific app you opened; it only knows the category you assigned it. PRIVACY FIRST SlowPulse works entirely on your device by default. Signing in is optional and only syncs your streaks and history across your own devices — nothing is sold, shared, or used to target you with ads. Not another guilt trip about your screen time. Just one honest second before the tap you'll wish you'd thought twice about. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
