PAUSED: Limit Screen Time2.1 - App Store

Doomscrolling until 2am... again?
You said ""just five minutes."" That was 2 hours ago.
One notification. One tap. And there goes your deep work session.
Sleep? Not when there is one more video.
The algorithm wins every single time.

It's time to take your life back.
PAUSED is your mindful companion designed to help you reclaim control of your time. With its minimalist Dopamine UI and intuitive features, building self-discipline has never been this rewarding.
