We all know the feeling: you unlock your phone for “just a second” and lose 20 minutes (or even more!). Giraffocus interrupts that cycle with a gentle mindful pause, so you can catch yourself and save hours each week.

I built Giraffocus for myself, to stop doomscrolling. The mindful pause gives you a few seconds to reconsider whether you really want to open the app.

I’d be super happy if you tried the app. Any feedback is more than welcome!

What if that assumption is not true? I have an opposite problem - I forget my iPhone somewhere in the house for 2-3 days, and then have hard time to find it and convince myself that I still need a smartphone.
