PauseMe – Auto Pause TV

AshuWorks

About this app

PauseMe is a simple Android TV app that helps prevent unattended streaming.
If media keeps playing for too long, PauseMe pauses playback and shows a Still Watching? prompt so the viewer can confirm and continue.

Why use PauseMe?

Streaming apps make it easy to keep playing endlessly—even when nobody is watching. PauseMe adds a simple pause-and-confirm step to help you stay in control of your TV time.

Easy setup

Getting started is quick and TV-friendly:
1. Open PauseMe and enable required permissions
2. Choose your preferred watch interval (e.g. 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes)
3. Turn on protection

Once enabled, PauseMe runs automatically in the background.

How it works

PauseMe monitors active playback on your Android TV.
After your selected interval, it will:

1. pause the current playback
2. show a full-screen Still Watching? prompt
3. let you continue using your remote
4. resume playback when confirmed
