Not a wall. A pause.
MindfulPause replaces adult sites with a calm, personal screen built around your reasons for stopping — your why, your streak, your goals — so the choice is yours, made with a clear head.
How it works
A moment of friction is often all it takes to choose differently.
It intercepts, gently
When you open a blocked site, MindfulPause steps in with a timed pause instead of a cold error page.
It shows your why
Your own words, a photo of someone you love, or a daily checklist — whatever reconnects you with the person you want to be.
It tracks your streak
Watch the clean days add up. Every time you close the tab, you get a little stronger — and you can see it.
Private by design
This is deeply personal. It should stay that way.
- Nothing leaves your device. Your why, your photo, your streak, and your browsing all stay in your browser's local storage.
- No account, no login, no tracking. We don't have a server that could collect your data even if we wanted to.
- No ads, ever. MindfulPause is not funded by advertising.
- Open about what we access. The extension needs broad site access purely to redirect blocked pages to the local pause screen.
Free forever. Tips welcome.
Every feature is unlocked for everyone. If MindfulPause is helping you, an optional tip keeps it maintained and ad-free — no pressure, ever.
