Lio

Pause before the scroll.

BAM-TAB helps you slow down — gently.

A small moment of awareness before and during distracting apps.

Small changes, big impact.

Take a breath

BAM adds a short pause before you enter, letting you decide if you really want to scroll.

03

Notice the time

When you've been in an app for a while, TAB appears with a gentle check-in.

04

Track your wins

See how many times you chose to exit and reclaimed your time.

How it works

Before you enter, take a breath.

BAM adds a short, calming pause before apps that often pull attention — without blocking or control.

No blocking No guilt No force
BAM Intervention

When time stretches, Lio checks in.

TAB appears after extended use — offering a moment to notice, reflect, and gently stop if you want.

Frequently asked questions.

Will this block all my apps?
+

No. You choose which apps Lio appears in. BAM-TAB never locks you out; it simply adds a mindful pause before you enter or after extended use.

How is this different from Screen Time?
+

Screen Time is restrictive and often leads to "ignore limit" fatigue. BAM-TAB focuses on awareness rather than force, helping you build a healthier relationship with your phone through choice.

Can it read my screen content?
+

Absolutely not. BAM-TAB does not use Accessibility Services to read your screen. It only uses Usage Stats to know which app is in the foreground, keeping your privacy completely intact.

Is it free to use?
+

Yes, the core features are free. We offer a Pro version for those who want to support development and unlock deeper customization for Lio.
