Less time in toxic feeds
Harassment often happens on social apps late at night. Schedules limit when those apps are open — without you reading DMs.
Features
Everything you need to protect your focus
Watch how each tool works — app blocking, focus modes, website blocking, and insights.
App blocking
Silence the apps that steal your attention
Schedule blocks for social, games, and messaging. Quick exceptions when you need them — without undoing your whole day.
Most people block 3–5 apps in their first session.
Focus modes
One tap for work, study, or sleep
Switch rule sets instantly. Pauseward applies the right blocks and schedules for the moment — no digging through settings.
Work and study modes are the most-used on-demand tools.
Website blocking
Cut off feeds and rabbit holes at the source
Block distracting sites and adult content network-wide — not just in one browser tab that's easy to bypass.
Website rules sync with your app blocks during focus sessions.
Insights
See where your time actually goes
Clean analytics show daily patterns, top distractions, and focus streaks — so you can change habits with data, not guilt.
50K+ hours of focus tracked across Pauseward users.
