RegularMonk - Stop doom-scrolling with 4 daily mindful pauses.
by•
RegularMonk helps you stop doom-scrolling with four short mindful pauses a day. Each pause takes under five minutes and uses a mindful game, breathing exercise, attention task, or reflection prompt to interrupt the moment of impulse. Unlike most wellness apps, there’s no feed, no streak pressure, no endless content, and pauses are time-gated so you can’t binge them. Open it, pause, leave the screen.

Do people get to choose which kinds of pauses they prefer, like more breathing vs more reflection?
@karimbenkeroum Right now, the pauses are intentionally chosen at random from different formats such as breathing, reflection, grounding, and attention exercises. I wanted the early experience to feel lightweight and a little surprising, rather than making users configure another personalized wellness system upfront.
That said, I do think different people reach for their phones for very different reasons: stress, boredom, procrastination, sleep avoidance, transition moments, etc. So a direction I’m exploring is making the interventions more adaptive over time based on context and patterns, while still keeping the experience minimal and anti-engagement.
