Paced
End mindless scrolling and build a healthier relationship with your phone.
Paced is a digital well-being app that helps users reduce mindless scrolling by trading physical steps for screen time. It acts as a supportive coach rather than a simple blocker, encouraging intentional phone use through movement-based unlocks and usage analytics. The app offers a free tier as well as a Pro subscription with advanced controls like custom timers, smart scheduling, and detailed analytics.
Users earn screen time by taking physical steps, with Pro features allowing custom timers, app groupings, and smart scheduling to set personalized digital boundaries.
