JustPause keeps distracting apps locked until you do a few push-ups, squats, or a breathing exercise. Choose a challenge and your access time, complete it, and unlock your apps. A small pause before another scroll.
Time that counts, limits that stick, and privacy built in.
Your earned time counts down only while you use a selected app. Leave the app and the timer pauses, so your minutes do not disappear while you are doing something else.
Earn 15 minutes, use five, and come back later with the remaining ten. You earn time to use, not a deadline to rush through.
Each app has its own access session and remaining time. Using Instagram does not spend the minutes you earned for TikTok, and one app running out does not end another app's session.
Keep different amounts of time for different apps, rather than sharing one countdown across every distraction.
Removing an app from your restricted list requires an exercise and is limited to one app per day. It adds a pause before you undo a limit just because you feel like scrolling.
For extra protection, optional Strict Mode prevents deleting apps from your device, including JustPause. This is a device-wide iOS restriction: it applies to all apps, not just JustPause.
Exercise detection runs locally on your device. Core app blocking and challenges work without an internet connection, so you can keep your routine even when you are offline.
Online features such as iCloud syncing and App Store purchases still need a connection. Your everyday challenges do not.
Less scrolling starts with a small challenge.
Add TikTok, Instagram, games, or any other apps you keep opening out of habit. JustPause keeps your selected apps locked.
Ready for a break? Pick push-ups, squats, or breathing, choose your access time, and complete the challenge to earn it.
Your selected apps become available for the time you earned. Once that time is used up, they lock again until your next challenge.
