"Pauses" allow you to temporarily disable or snooze all app blocking for a day without losing your streak and without deleting or editing your existing blocking. Many people use this as a "Vacation Mode," and we're exploring the possibility of adding a dedicated "Vacation Mode" feature as well.
​
​

To earn "Pauses", maintain a streak by consistently staying under your app limits. As you build this streak, you'll unlock "Pauses", allowing you to bypass app blocking without losing your progress.

If you change your mind, you can end your "Pause" at anytime by clicking on the "Pause" button again.
​

To disable "Pauses", go to: "Roots > Blocking > Blocking Settings (top of the screen) > Disable Blocking Pauses" (under the header "Make Roots Bulletproof").
​
​Note: There will be a 24-hour delay if you re-enable, as an impulse protection.
