PausePal adds a mindful pause before YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and Snapchat Spotlight open. It blocks only the addictive feed — chats, DMs and the rest of the app keep working. Streaks, friction unlock, scheduled blocking and an AI Coach. Free on Android.

Hey everyone! I'm Ankit from India — I built PausePal because I kept losing hours to Shorts and Reels without even noticing.
Most blockers lock the whole app. PausePal blocks only the addictive feed — Reels, Shorts, Spotlight — so chats and DMs keep working. When a feed opens, you get a pause screen and a few seconds to decide: continue or leave.
Free on Android, with streaks, scheduled blocking, friction unlock and an AI Coach in Pro. Would love your feedback — what would make you actually stick with a screen-time app?
