You open an App to check one notification. Twenty minutes later, you're still scrolling. Stop Me changes what happens before an app opens. For every app you choose, Stop Me becomes the entry point. Before you enter, answer two simple questions: Why are you opening this app? How long do you need? Choose your purpose, choose your session, and then use the app normally. When your session ends, Stop Me becomes the entry point againβ€”so the next time you open that app, you make the decision again. Stop Me isn't about keeping useful apps away from you. It's about stopping mindless entry, doomscrolling, and those sessions that begin with one purpose and turn into wasted time. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Choose the apps you want Stop Me in front of β€’ Create the reasons you normally open them β€’ Choose your purpose before entering β€’ Set how long you need β€’ Use the app normally during your session β€’ Decide again the next time you enter Use Stop Me with social media, video, shopping, news, or any app you tend to open without thinking. Your apps are useful. Your attention is valuable. Know why you're going in. Privacy Policy: https://khueonstudios.com/products/stop-me/privacy Terms: https://khueonstudios.com/products/stop-me/terms
