About this app

Do you want to read messages without the "blue tick" appearing? Or play games without being interrupted by annoying ads and notifications?

NetPause is your ultimate digital shield.
​NetPause gives you total control over your internet connection. You decide exactly WHICH app can access data and which can't. It’s like having an "OFF" switch for every single app on your phone.

​🔥 Why you need NetPause:

​Ghost Mode for Social Media: Disable internet for WhatsApp or Telegram only.

Stay "offline" for others, while you keep browsing on Chrome or watching YouTube.

​Ad-Free Gaming: Tired of intrusive ads ruining your matches? Block data for your games and enjoy a pure offline experience.

​Deep Work & Study (Focus Mode): Block Instagram, TikTok, and other distractions while you work or study. Watch your productivity skyrocket instantly.

​Data Saver: Stop data-hungry apps from consuming your mobile plan in the background. Save money and battery life.

​💎 Premium Features: Automation at its best
​Stop toggling switches manually.

Use our Advanced Scheduler:
​Custom Schedules: Set "No Social Media" from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

​Weekly Routines: Choose specific days for your Digital Detox.

​Set & Forget: NetPause works in the background according to your rules.

​🔒 Privacy First (No Servers, No Stress)
​NetPause uses a Local VPN technology that never leaves your device.
​❌ No data is sent to external servers.
​❌ No tracking or data sharing with third parties.
​✅ 100% Secure and battery-optimized.


🔒 VPN Service Usage

NetPause uses Android's VpnService to create a local VPN interface on the device in order to control and block network access for selected apps.

This VPN is used ONLY locally on the device and does NOT connect to any external servers.

No user data is collected, transmitted, or shared through this VPN connection. All traffic filtering happens directly on the device.

This functionality is essential to allow users to enable or disable internet access for individual apps.
