Gentle
Timed nudges. ScrollPause sends you a moment of pause on a cadence you set, regardless of what you are doing. The lightest touch.
Features.
Three intervention modes
Aware
Notices when you have been in an app a while. ScrollPause uses Android's Usage Access to recognize sessions and intervenes with intent, not on a timer.
Full Pause
Real-time. ScrollPause uses the Accessibility API to see scroll events as they happen, and interrupts the ones that look like they are going nowhere.Read what we do and do not do with this permission →
Discover
Tap to pause
Every pause notification can take you to a small thing worth your attention: a poem, a single fact, a piece of generative art, a curious idea. Or, if you choose, a one-minute 4-7-8 breathing exercise, right where you are.
The app calls this Discover. You can browse the human-curated library any time at scrollpause.com/discover/browse.
Stillness
Stillness is the built-in 4-7-8 breathing flow in the app. You tap once and follow a short guided rhythm without leaving the moment.
It also works as the offline fallback when Discover content is unavailable, so the pause still gives you something grounded and useful.
Insights
Insights show your scrolling rhythm, time-of-day patterns, and the impact your phone is having on your attention and your body. Your personal insight views are computed and stored on your device.
Privacy and on-device storage
Scroll detection, app history, preferences, and personal insights stay on your device. There are no ads, accounts, or cloud sync. If you explicitly opt in, ScrollPause may send anonymous daily totals without app names, screen content, or an action-by-action timeline. Read the exact privacy boundary.
Free for Android
Put a pause between you and the next scroll.
Free on Android. No account, ads, subscription, or hard lockouts. Set it once and let it work quietly in the background.
