ScrollPause - Break endless scrolling with gentle, timely nudges
by•
ScrollPause helps you reduce mindless scrolling without blocking apps or locking your phone. Instead of restrictions, it uses gentle interruptions such as interesting facts, trivia, thought-provoking questions, breathing exercises, and random web discoveries to break autopilot scrolling and create moments of awareness. Designed for people who want healthier screen habits without feeling punished, controlled, or forced to quit social media entirely.

Love the gentle approach here, honestly way better than those harsh screen blockers. One thing I'd suggest is adding a customizable schedule so the interruptions only kick in during certain times like late evening when I tend to doom scroll the most, basically let users pick their danger windows.

@eleanorrigby Thank you! This is a very interesting suggestion. Especially, as ScrollPause already shows the intensity windows like in the enclosed image. Will plan for this feature in the next app update.
Love that it interrupts with a random trivia question instead of just locking me out, feels way less guilt-trippy than other apps I've tried. The breathing prompts caught me off guard but honestly kinda worked.
