Why Pause for a Cause?

Less scrolling. More good. No punishment.

Stay focused

Pick the apps and sites that pull you in — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, whatever. A short pause is often enough to remember what you were doing.

Raise real money

In a hurry? Watch a short ad to skip the wait. Every accidental open becomes a few cents for the cause you’ve chosen.

Completely free

No subscription. No fees. No catch. Advertisers fund the donations. Your data stays private.

New on Android

A moment of friction. A world of good.

The Android app brings the same idea to the apps that eat your day — a calm pause before you open, and an easy way to turn that pause into impact.

Pick the apps that pull you in

Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube — choose which apps need a moment of friction before they open. You’re always in control of the list.

When you tap a blocked app, a calm pause screen runs a short timer. Often that’s enough to remember what you actually meant to do.
