Mado

Mado is an iOS app designed to help you reclaim your attention from endless scrolling. Instead of harsh blockers or shaming trackers, it inserts a calm 15‑minute pause window between you and the apps you choose to guard. When you open a guarded app, Mado presents two honest choices: close the window or spend one of your daily 15‑minute sessions. Each rhythm setting (Shizuku, Nagare, Izumi) determines how many sessions you receive per day, letting you start gentle and tighten the habit over time.

Beyond the pause, Mado offers Deep Focus sessions you can launch on demand (15 minutes to 4 hours) that operate outside your daily budget, and a flexible schedule (Toki) that automatically activates the pause during work hours, wind‑down periods, or custom windows. Insights show you which apps pull your attention most, and a growing garden visualizes your streaks of mindful choices. All data stays on‑device, with no ads, no account required, and a simple subscription model after a 7‑day free trial.
