Stop impulsive app opens. TaskGate gives you a mindful pause with custom tasks—including partner apps like language, fitness, or learning tools—before apps unlock TaskGate helps you stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Before social media, games, or other high-distraction apps launch, TaskGate shows a quick task that creates a short pause to help you break impulsive habits and open apps intentionally. Instead of blocking apps completely, TaskGate adds one simple step that interrupts automatic scrolling and improves digital awareness. A Quick Task Before You Enter Distracting Apps Whenever you open a selected app, TaskGate presents a small task such as: A simple focus question A quick intention check A short decision prompt These lightweight tasks give your mind a moment to pause and choose consciously before diving in.
