Break Time!

Time for a healthy break

Sound Familiar?

You're not alone. Millions struggle with the same cycle every night.

"It's 2 AM... again"

You promised yourself you'd stop at 10 PM. Three episodes later, you're still watching and tomorrow is ruined.

Designed to keep you watching

Netflix employs psychologists to maximize your screen time. Autoplay isn't a bug — it's a feature against you.

The guilt spiral

You finish an entire season, then feel guilty about the wasted time. Rinse and repeat, night after night.

There's a Better Way

Streaming Video Pause creates natural stopping points, so you can enjoy watching without losing control.

Automatic circuit breaker

Creates a natural stopping point after each episode. You consciously decide whether to continue.

Time to actually think

15 minutes to ask yourself: do I really want another episode, or is it just momentum?

Willpower is overrated

Don't fight a machine designed by psychologists. Automate your good intentions instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Yes, you can. The extension isn't about restricting you — it's about creating a moment of awareness. That brief pause is often all you need to make a conscious choice rather than defaulting to autoplay. Most people find that once they stop to think, they realize they've had enough.

We thought so too. But Netflix's autoplay is specifically designed by behavioral psychologists to bypass your self-control. It's not a fair fight. The extension simply levels the playing field by creating a natural stopping point — the decision to continue is still 100% yours.

Not at all. The pause only appears between episodes, never during them. It's a gentle 15-minute break that actually makes your viewing experience more intentional and enjoyable. Many users report that they enjoy their shows more when they're choosing to watch rather than mindlessly continuing.

Currently, Streaming Video Pause works as a Chrome browser extension, so it works on any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook) running Chrome. Mobile devices and smart TVs are not supported at this time, but we're exploring options for the future.

Yes, 100% free with no catches. There are no premium features locked behind a paywall, no subscriptions, and no ads. We built this because we struggled with binge-watching ourselves, and we wanted to share the solution.

We take privacy seriously. The extension collects zero personal data. It doesn't track what you watch, doesn't require an account, and doesn't send any information to external servers. Everything happens locally on your device.
