What it does
pause.do is a privacy-first browser extension that interrupts the moments when attention slips into autopilot, endless scrolling, tab overload, and even AI prompts. Instead of blocking websites, it creates small, intentional pauses that help you think first and decide what to do next. With pause types like Think First, Scroll Pause, Session Nudge, Focus Limit, and Tab Overload, pause.do helps you stay in control of your attention online.
pause.do is a privacy-first browser extension that inserts gentle pauses before AI prompts, scrolling, and tab overload helping you reclaim focus and think with intention.
pause.do helps you catch tab overload, endless scrolling, and hidden screen time with small, well-timed pauses. You already know the feeling. You open one tab to check something small and twenty minutes later, you’re somewhere you never meant to be. That isn’t weakness. It’s design. The apps you use every day are engineered for momentum to keep you scrolling, clicking, reacting. pause.do doesn’t fight that with force. It doesn’t block, shame, or gamify. It creates a small gap a moment between impulse and action. And in that moment, you decide. When your tab count crosses your limit, pause.do slows the moment. Close what's noise.Keep what matters. After extended scrolling, pause.do steps in…from pause.do
