Offimo - Mindful pause app for screen time control

You sit down to study and the class group chat pings

Protect your study block without leaving your phone in another room.

Offimo lets you keep your phone while you study: you pick the scrolling apps and your study hours, and those apps sit behind a pause. In exam week, Commitment Mode keeps the rule for the period you set.

Studying takes continuous attention, and every glance at the phone costs you the way back to the material. Leaving the phone in another room works, until you need it for a question or for the class group.

In Offimo, you pick the scrolling apps and your study hours. The phone stays with you, and access to the apps you chose sits behind a pause of a few seconds. In exam week, Commitment Mode keeps the rule for the period you set.

For a student's routine

A study block with a schedule

Protection applies during your study hours and frees the rest of the day.

The class group stays off the list

Leave out the app you use to talk to classmates and protect only the feed.

Commitment Mode keeps the block for the period you choose, at Strong or Armored.

Getting back to the reading

At the end of a break, the pause helps you choose to return to the material before you scroll.
