About this app

PauseLock helps you create a short pause before opening chosen distracting apps.

Choose the app you want to protect, and PauseLock shows a simple breathing pause before you continue. You can then choose to open the app anyway or stay focused.

PauseLock is designed for people who want a calmer, more intentional relationship with their phone.

Key features:

* Choose apps you want to pause before opening
* See app usage insights to help decide what to protect
* Breathing pause before selected apps open
* Open Anyway or Stay Focused choices
* Local, on-device focus support
* No account required
* No ads
* No cloud sync

Privacy-first design:
PauseLock uses Usage Access to show local app usage insights and Accessibility only to detect when your chosen apps open and show the pause overlay.

Pause Lock does not read your screen content, messages, passwords, keystrokes, notifications, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or location.

Your Pause Lock data stays on your device.
