ColorPause
Break the scroll habit by turning distracting websites and apps gray once you reach your limits.
A macOS app that turns websites and apps black and white once you reach limits you set, letting interest fade instead of cutting you off.
Overview
ColorPause is a menu-bar app for macOS that turns the websites and applications you choose black and white once you reach limits you set, such as 15 minutes of YouTube a day. Only the window showing that site or app turns gray; everything else on your screen stays in color. Nothing is blocked or locked, so instead of fighting a cutoff, the interest fades naturally and you close it because you want to. It works in Safari and Chrome without requiring a browser extension, and also with Mac apps like Slack, Discord, and games. You list the sites and apps that pull you in, set limits in minutes or opens per hour or per day, choose active hours and days off, and ColorPause handles the rest. A Last 7 days page shows your time and visits compared with the week before. What you browse and use never leaves your Mac.

Frequently looked up
- Q1Why doesn't ColorPause just block the site?
- A hard cutoff can feel like a punishment and people tend to fight it. ColorPause takes a different approach: it leaves the site open and takes the color away so the interest fades naturally, and you leave because you want to rather than because you were forced out.
- Q2Does ColorPause read the pages I visit?
- No. ColorPause reads only the address of the visible tab on your Mac to match it against your list. It never reads what's on the page or inside your apps, and it counts time and visits only for what's on your list.
- Q3Is ColorPause a subscription?
- No. You pay once for your license, which includes 12 months of updates. After that, ColorPause keeps working, and you can renew updates if you want newer versions.
- Q4Can I get a refund?
- Yes, ColorPause offers a full refund within 30 days of buying with no questions asked.
