Why ScrollPause exists.
Wellness apps shouldn't be selling attention
Most attention products make money the same way attention platforms do: by keeping you in a loop. The language sounds mindful, but the business model is still engagement.
ScrollPause takes the opposite position. No ads, no account, no engagement funnel, and private by default. Optional anonymous totals are opt-in and documented plainly. If a product says it helps you focus, it should not depend on your distraction.
Three modes, because one size doesn't fit
Some weeks you want a gentle nudge. Some weeks you need a stronger interrupt. ScrollPause has Gentle, Aware, and Full Pause so you can choose the level of intervention that matches your life right now.
There's no pressure to pick one forever. You can switch modes any time and keep tuning until it feels sustainable.
Built by an independent maker
I built ScrollPause because I needed it. It is independently owned and not VC-backed, so there is no investor demanding that attention or personal data become the business model.
This is a small, focused tool made to be useful and then get out of your way.
Free for Android
