Screen Time & Focus
Read full descriptionHide full description
Take back your time, without the guilt. Pausora is the gentle screen time app for students who want to focus, study, and scroll less. No punishment. No shame. Just a calmer relationship with your phone. Most app blockers treat you like the problem. Pausora doesn't. Instead of a hard wall, Pausora adds a mindful pause. The moment you reach apps, it checks in, reminds you of the goal you set, and helps you choose focus over autopilot. You stay in control, and the friction stays gentle, never a cage. WHAT PAUSORA DOES - A mindful pause, not a hard block When you open a distracting app, Pausora interrupts with a quick, kind check-in instead of a brick wall. One breath, one question, and you decide. - Block distractions on your schedule Pick the apps that pull you in and set focus hours for study time, sleep time, or deep work. Pausora keeps them gently out of reach using Apple Screen Time. - Take a break, on purpose Need an app for a moment? Choose a deliberate break instead of caving to a reflex. Pausora locks back automatically when your time is up. - A companion that never guilt-trips you Your companion celebrates progress and never "dies" or scolds you for a slip. Encouragement only, because shame doesn't build habits. - Forgiving streaks Miss a day? A streak freeze keeps your momentum alive. One bad day never erases your progress. - Progress you can feel See the hours you reclaimed, your focus streaks, and the distractions you avoided, all tied back to the personal goal you set on day one. - Calm, respectful reminders No spam and no nagging. Pausora nudges you only when it matters, with quiet hours by default. - Made for focus and study Beat doomscrolling, start a focus session, and get back to what actually matters to you. PERFECT FOR - Students who want to study without doomscrolling - Anyone trying a dopamine detox or a screen time reset - People who want to break a phone habit, gently - Focusing on deep work, better sleep, or simply being more present Whether it is one focus session or a whole semester, Pausora grows with you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your screen time data stays on your device. Pausora has no account database. You sign in with Apple, and we never sell your data. SUPPORT Questions, ideas, or bugs?

It is easy to lose track of time while scrolling. Stop Scrolling gives you a gentle moment to notice and choose what happens next. Select the apps you want to monitor and choose how long you want to use them before receiving a reminder. When that time is reached, Stop Scrolling sends a local notification. You can stop there or ask for another reminder later. KEY FEATURES • Choose what to monitor Review supported apps installed on your device, or use Apple’s Screen Time picker to select other apps, categories, or websites. • Set your first reminder Choose how long a selected app can be used before you receive a pause reminder. • Remind me again Not ready to stop? Schedule another reminder after the interval you choose. • Pause alerts for today Take a day off from reminders and resume them whenever you want. • See today’s history Review which selected apps triggered reminders and whether you chose to stop or be reminded again. There are no scores or judgments. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Stop Scrolling does not read another app’s screen, scrolling gestures, messages, photos, browsing history, or location. It uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks only to monitor the usage duration of items you explicitly select. Screen Time selections, reminder settings, and reminder history stay in the app’s local iOS App Group container and are never used for advertising. The app displays advertising. Advertising partners may process device identifiers, product interaction, advertising data, approximate location derived from network information, and diagnostics as described in the Privacy Policy. Tracking or personalized advertising is used only where permitted and, on iOS, only after any consent required by App Tracking Transparency. Contextual or non-personalized ads may still appear when tracking is not allowed. PERMISSIONS • Screen Time: monitors usage duration for items you select • Notifications: delivers reminders at your chosen time • Tracking, when requested: supports personalized advertising and ad measurement; optional and not required for the reminder features Stop Scrolling does not block selected apps. It helps you notice the moment and make your own choice.
