DunyaPause on iPhone: pause, read, and continue intentionally.

How it works

A small pause can change the next few minutes.

It isn't about abandoning your phone. It's about deciding when you actually want to use it.

  1. Choose what distracts you

    Select the apps you tend to open automatically.

  2. Pause and read

    When you reach for a selected app, DunyaPause creates a pause and gives you the option to spend that moment with a few ayat.

  3. Continue intentionally

    After your reading, temporary access lets you continue with a more conscious choice.

Designed to feel like a pause, not a punishment.
