Reclaim your attention, one scroll at a time. You open an app "just for a minute"—and twenty minutes later you're still scrolling. BrainStop is the gentle nudge that snaps you out of it. Pick the apps that eat your time, set a limit, and BrainStop sends you a friendly reminder once you've spent that long on them today. No lectures, no guilt—just a well-timed tap on the shoulder so you can choose to put the phone down. How it works • Choose the apps you tend to lose yourself in (social media, video, news—whatever your weakness is). • Set your limit, from a few minutes to a couple of hours. • Get a notification the moment you cross it—and again at every interval after, if you keep going. Made to fit your life • Repeating nudges that escalate the longer you stay, so you can't ignore them on autopilot. • Cap the number of reminders per day, or let them run. • A Control Center toggle to start or stop BrainStop in a single tap. • Works with Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action button. Private by design BrainStop is built on Apple's Screen Time technology. Your usage data never leaves your device—BrainStop can't see what you do in your apps, only that a time limit has been reached. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. No accounts. No subscriptions to think about. No dark patterns pulling you back in. Your attention is yours. BrainStop just helps you keep it.
