Mindful Media
One gentle breath before the scroll.
Mindful Media adds a calm, 12-second pause before social media. See how many times you've visited today, follow one 4-4-4 breath, then make your own choice — without shame, hard blocks, or another account.

want to take a breath first?
Not a warning — just a moment to choose how you want to feel.
A pause, not a wall
Most website blockers stop you cold. Mindful Media creates a choice point instead. When you open a configured social site, a soothing overlay asks you to breathe once before deciding what happens next.
- One guided inhale, hold, and exhale — four seconds each
- Encouraging visit counts that reset every day
- Continue mindfully or close the tab; the choice stays yours

Choose Quiet Sage, Sky Dawn, or Evening Calm. Customize the sites, message, and cooldown, or use the gentle defaults for Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Threads.
