Pauso - Screen Time Controller
Description
Pauso is a free screen time controller for iPhone designed to help users break the cycle of mindless scrolling. It interrupts app usage with a calming breathing exercise, allowing users to pause and reflect before deciding to continue. The app offers two modes: Gentle Mode encourages mindful awareness by presenting a breathing exercise before accessing an app, while Strict Mode utilizes iOS Family Controls to block apps completely during scheduled times. This approach addresses phone addiction by focusing on awareness rather than punishment, making it suitable for anyone looking to manage their screen time more effectively.
