Mindful Open

Mindful Open puts a short, calm pause between you and the apps you open on autopilot. Pick the apps that pull you in, like social media, video or games. When you open one of them, Mindful Open shows "Take a breath" for a few seconds. When the countdown ends, the app opens by itself. If you change your mind, tap "Close app" and go back to the Home Screen. How it works - Choose the apps to pause with Apple's Screen Time app picker. - Set the pause: 5 to 60 seconds, 10 seconds by default. - Add one Shortcuts automation, with step-by-step instructions in the app, so a paused app locks again as soon as you leave it. Privacy Mindful Open uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Apple never tells the app which apps you chose, and the app collects no data. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Available in English and Hebrew.
