ScreenCalmer See what’s coming

The focus app that actually pauses you.

ScreenCalmer interrupts the scroll with a short, full-screen calm-down ritual — then hands the decision back to you.

How it works

Catch the urge

Open it when you feel the pull, or let the timer catch you when your set time runs out.

Pause with the ritual

A full-screen calm-down takes over: a breathing animation and a short countdown you can’t skip.

Choose freely

When the countdown ends, the close button appears. Keep scrolling or put the phone down — your call.

Works where others die: MIUI, HyperOS & Chinese ROMs

MIUI, HyperOS, and other Chinese ROMs aggressively kill background apps and block pop-ups — the exact abilities a forced calm-down depends on. For apps in this category, it’s the most common source of bad reviews.

ScreenCalmer is tuned for this reality: it detects your ROM, checks what’s restricted, and walks you straight to the settings your phone needs — no guesswork, no fighting your device.

Setup guidance is built in for

  • MIUI & HyperOS
  • Samsung One UI
  • OPPO & OnePlus (ColorOS)
  • vivo & iQOO (OriginOS)
  • Honor devices

Why a pause works

Between the impulse and the tap there is a gap, and most apps design it away. Behavioral research consistently finds that adding friction — even a few seconds — reduces impulsive use. A forced pause is not a cure, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But ten quiet seconds before the feed reclaims you is a surprisingly good place to start.
