Phone Pause
Pause your phone, resume your life.
Phone Pause is the app that locks you out, so life can lock you back in. Quick Lock, Smart Lock, Lock Until, and recurring schedules help you set boundaries with your screen — without relying on willpower alone.
Get it on Google Play
Everything you need to take your time back.
Quick Lock
Drag the hour and minute sliders, tap Lock Now, confirm — and your phone becomes a very expensive paperweight. Perfect for deep work, exam prep, or finally finishing that book.
Smart Lock
Tell Phone Pause your screen-on threshold and it watches your usage in the background. Cross the line, and it locks automatically — like a fitness tracker, but for your attention span.
Lock Until
Don't want to count minutes? Pick a time. "Lock me out until 6 PM" and you're done — Phone Paused until the clock says so.
Scheduled Locks
Willpower is overrated, automation isn't. Create a recurring schedule — pick your days and times — and every night your phone politely excuses itself, right on cue.
Made to fit you
Light, dark, or system theme, and support for 27 languages, so Phone Pause feels like it was built for exactly how — and where — you live.
