A little space between you and your apps
More time for what you meant to do.
Pause before distracting apps. Choose your time. Get a little more support when a quick check turns into a long scroll.
Made for Android. Built around your choices.
A little less scrolling. A little more this.
LoopCut
A moment to relax. A message to answer. A reason to put your phone down. LoopCut helps you make room for all of it.
01 / A more intentional everyday
Decide why you’re opening an app and how long you want to stay.
Take the break you chose. When your plan ends, LoopCut checks in.
Leave straight away, or continue deliberately. Repeated extensions bring stronger support.
Example shown: Balanced · 5 / 10 / 20 / 30 sec · 7 min reset.
EXPLORE THE STOPPING POINTS
A reminder is easy to dismiss. LoopCut adds a little more friction each time you extend, until it’s time for a reset.
Choose a step to see what happens.
Notice the plan ended.
Stopping stays easy. Continuing becomes more deliberate.
Choose a protection level for each app in LoopCut. It sets the wait before each extension and the length of the reset break after repeated extensions. Compare the three levels below.
Balanced: gradually longer waits before extending; a 7-minute reset break.
02 / For the things you need
Reply to a message, check a link, or scan a QR code. Quick Task gives you short, limited access without turning your protection off.
Short sessions. Limited uses each hour.
One more chapter. Then lights out.
03 / A quieter end to the day
Set your sleep hours and let Sleep Guard keep distracting apps closed. Essential apps stay available, with urgent access when you need it.
Your schedule. A little more peace of mind.
04 / Get to know your habits
Explore your screen time across days, weeks, and months. See which apps take your attention, then choose where you’d like a little more space.
Thoughtful by design
LoopCut uses Android Accessibility Service only to detect when selected apps open and display the appropriate pause, plan, checkpoint, Quick Task, or Sleep Guard screen.
It does not read messages, typed text, browsing history, notifications, or personal content.
Read the Privacy PolicyLoopCut’s approach is informed by peer-reviewed research on app-opening self-nudges and design friction in infinite-scroll interfaces. These studies examined related intervention mechanisms; they did not test LoopCut itself.

Progressive Friction means the intervention becomes more deliberate when earlier pauses are not enough. LoopCut moves from a simple check-in to waiting, recommitment, a final confirmation, and—after repeated extensions—a temporary reset.
No. LoopCut is a screen-time and focus app built around smart and progressive friction. Sleep Guard and Reset can temporarily prevent normal access, but LoopCut’s main approach is proportional intervention rather than an immediate all-day lockout.
LoopCut first gives you a clear stopping point. You can leave immediately. If you choose to continue repeatedly, each later checkpoint asks for more intention.
Yes. Quick Task and urgent access are designed for real situations such as replying, checking a link, scanning a QR code, or completing one important action.
Android Digital Wellbeing mainly provides usage information and app timers. LoopCut focuses on the decision moments before opening and after the planned session ends.
It is required to detect when selected guarded apps open and display the correct LoopCut intervention reliably. LoopCut does not use it to read personal content.
