Everything, delivered tomorrow. Deals, recommendations and a search box that turns one thing into a browse.
How Offimo pauses Amazon
Offimo puts a short pause between the tap and Amazon, every time you open it. You can still go in, but opening it stops being a reflex and becomes a decision.
On the simple pause, if you still want in, you go in. For the days you have already decided not to negotiate, Commitment Mode makes the block firmer for the period you choose, and Emergency Unlock opens everything for 30 minutes if something real comes up.

Customize Your Pause Settings
Set your preferred pause length (30 seconds is a good place to start) and choose the reflection prompt you'll see before Amazon opens. Adjust these anytime.

Use Your Phone as Normal
