Read full description

Scroll Exit is not an app blocker. It is a small habit tool that helps you notice and log the moments when you consciously leave attention-grabbing apps. Over time, goals, streaks, daily logs and weekly trends help you build a healthier digital rhythm. Key Features • Conscious exit journal Log the moment you step away from an app with a single tap. See which app you left, at what time of day and in what mood. • Daily goal and streak system Set a daily goal for conscious exits. As you keep hitting your goal on consecutive days, your streak grows. It motivates you with small, sustainable steps instead of pressure. • Timeline view of your day All your exits are listed in chronological order. You can visually track when you tend to get stuck and when you manage to pull yourself back. • Weekly stats and trends View 7 day charts showing how many exits you made, which days are heavier and what your average rhythm looks like. • Shareable achievement cards Share your streak or today’s effort with minimal, pastel styled cards. They look aesthetic and feel like a small reward to yourself. • Gentle reminders Optionally enable morning and evening reminders for motivation. Notifications are supportive, not blaming. • Quick logging with a home screen widget Add exits directly from the home screen widget without opening the app. Modern screen habits make doomscrolling almost inevitable. What matters is noticing it. Scroll Exit makes these cycles visible. The rest is up to you. Small exits. Big awareness.

Your phone is designed to keep you scrolling. Pausa helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone by adding a calm pause before distracting apps—so you decide, not the algorithm. Unlike harsh app blockers, Pausa never traps you. There's always an Open Anyway option. Instead of forcing discipline, Pausa helps you build awareness, reduce mindless scrolling, and create healthier screen habits—one intentional choice at a time. A simple pause can make a powerful difference. Research has shown that introducing a brief moment of reflection before opening an app can significantly reduce automatic app openings. Pausa is built around that idea—and the belief that lasting habits should feel calm, supportive, and guilt-free. HOW PAUSA WORKS Whenever you open a distracting app, Pausa appears first. Take a breath, notice your intention, and decide whether you really want to continue. No guilt. No lockouts. No punishment. Just a mindful pause that helps break the autopilot scroll.
