मौन विराम Mindful Pause

Before the scroll, a breath.

Pick up to three apps that pull you away — Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, whatever it is for you. Before any of them open, Sadhana holds the screen for five seconds with a Sanskrit shloka from the Gita, Upanishads or Vedas: a breath, an intention, then you proceed. Watch your streak of resisted impulses grow.

A fresh verse every time — never the same pause twice
Choose exactly which apps get the pause — nothing else is touched
Fully on-device — nothing you open is ever logged or shared

Getting started

Set up Mindful Pause in under a minute

Four quick steps and every distracting tap gets a five-second breath first.

1

Open Mindful Pause

From the Sadhana home screen, tap the Mindful Pause card to enter setup.

2

Choose your apps

Pick up to three apps that pull your attention most — Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp or others.

3

Grant accessibility access

Android needs this one-time permission so Sadhana can detect when a chosen app opens — nothing is read or recorded.

4

Set your pause length

Keep the default five seconds or adjust it — then every launch of a chosen app opens with a shloka first.
