AddictionInterrupter vs Stop Me

This app connects with Shortcuts to interrupt you when you try to open another app. I built this because I was opening social media apps unconsciously, and a few seconds delay was enough to at least make it a conscious choice. There are a number of apps that do this on the app store, but I tried 5 of them and they all either didn't work, charged a subscription if you wanted to use them for more than one app, or made other features such as screen time limits mandatory. This is a stripped down, simple, 100% free app that lets you add a brief pause before opening certain apps you may feel addicted to.

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 again—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 • Choose the apps you want Stop Me in front of • Create the reasons you normally open them • Choose your purpose before entering • Set how long you need • Use the app normally during your session • 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
