Reclaim your time with Pause Point.
["How can teachers and students use AI?", "What are the newest features in Chrome?", "How can I learn new AI skills?"]

Ever been scrolling for 45 minutes, only to stop and realize you can't remember why you picked up your phone in the first place? App timers can be easy to snooze, and total lockouts aren't always practical. Sometimes you need something in the middle that encourages app use with clear intention.

Enter Pause Point.

When you open a distracting app, Pause Point gives you a 10-second breather to ask, “Why am I here?” During that pause, you can do a short breathing exercise or set a timer so you don’t spend too much time scrolling. You can also look at some favorite photos or jump to alternative app suggestions, like an audiobook.

Need extra help sticking to your plan? Pause Point ensures you stop and think before disabling the feature too, by requiring a phone restart to turn it off.

Reclaim time for the things you actually love and quit autopilot app use with Pause Point.
