Fomo Fast is intermittent fasting for your apps. You pick the apps that eat your day, give them short feed windows, and outside those windows they stay locked behind a system shield. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your apps. Apple's private picker keeps the list on your device, so Fomo Fast never sees which apps you chose. 2. Set your feed windows. A window is the time your feeds are open, say twenty minutes at lunch and an hour in the evening. 3. Live your day. Outside the windows the shield covers those apps. Inside them you have a daily allowance of minutes, and the shield returns when the allowance runs out. WHAT YOU GET - A shield backed by Screen Time, not a reminder you can swipe away - Feed windows per weekday, so weekends can breathe differently - A daily allowance in minutes, with the minutes you save staying saved when you relock early - A streak that counts the days you held, and a brain that visibly recovers as it grows - A Live Activity and lock screen countdown while a session is running - A home screen widget with your streak and the last weeks at a glance - Progress stats: clarity, dopamine reset and mental energy trends over time PRIVACY The app list never leaves your device. Fomo Fast uses Apple's Screen Time framework, which means we can shield apps without ever seeing what you do inside them. No account is required to use the app. FOMO FAST PRO Pro is a subscription with a free trial. Weekly and yearly plans are available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time.

About

ScrollPause

Read full description

ScrollPause puts one moment of friction between you and the app you open without meaning to. Pick the apps that pull you in. The next time you open one, a pause screen appears first. It tells you which app you are opening and what time it is, and asks whether you really meant to. Tap "I'll pass" and the app closes. Tap through twice and you get five minutes, then the pause comes back. That is the whole idea. No streaks, no lectures, no shame. LOCK SCROLLPAUSE ITSELF WITH A PIN Every screen-time tool has the same weak point: the moment you decide to switch it off. Usually that moment arrives late at night, and it wins. Set a four-digit PIN and ScrollPause asks for it before it opens. Your quiet hours, your paused apps, your settings — none of it can be changed by whoever is holding the phone. Including you, at 1am. • The PIN is asked when the app opens, and again after thirty seconds away • Five wrong tries and the waiting starts: thirty seconds, then five minutes, then fifteen, then an hour • Moving the phone's clock forward does not shorten that wait • The app switcher preview is covered, so a glance at your phone shows nothing • Forgot it? A twelve-character recovery code, saved when you set the PIN and readable again from Settings whenever you want What the PIN honestly does and does not do: it guards ScrollPause. It cannot stop anyone from deleting the app, or from switching Screen Time off in iPhone Settings — no app on iOS can do that, and any app that says otherwise is selling you something. WHAT ELSE YOU GET • A pause screen in front of the apps you choose, drawn by iOS itself • Two taps to get in, so going in is a decision rather than a reflex • A count of how often you paused and how often you walked away • A weekly summary in plain words: when you reach for your phone most, which day was hardest, how you compare to last week • A home-screen widget with the minutes you kept today SCROLLPAUSE PRO • Lock the app with a PIN • Pause up to 50 apps instead of 3 • Quiet hours: the hours where there is no five-minute pass at all • Every past week, not just this one Pro is a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. There is no free trial that renews behind your back. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-in. No server. No ads. No analytics. No third-party code of any kind. The apps you choose are handled by Apple's Screen Time system, which hands ScrollPause an anonymous token for each one — a value the app cannot read or turn back into a name. Your counts live in a database on your iPhone. Your PIN is stored as a one-way hash in the iOS Keychain and never leaves the device. Delete the app and all of it goes with it.
