Break Time!

Come back in 15 minutes

Sound Familiar?

You're not alone. Parents everywhere struggle with the same screen time battles.

"Just one more episode!"

The endless negotiations every parent knows too well. "Please? Just five more minutes!" Sound familiar?

Autoplay never stops

Netflix is designed to keep watching. Episode after episode, the next show starts before anyone can blink.

Being the "mean parent"

Nobody wants to be the one who always says no. It's exhausting being the screen time police.

There's a Better Way

Streaming Video Pause creates natural stopping points, so screen time stays healthy without the fights.

Automatic breaks after every episode

No more manual intervention. The extension pauses automatically when an episode ends.

15-minute rest for eyes and brain

Give kids time to stretch, play, or just look away from screens. Their eyes will thank you.

The extension enforces limits — not you

Stop being the bad guy. Let the technology do the heavy lifting while you stay the hero.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

The pause screen is designed to be a gentle reminder, not a locked barrier. While determined kids might find ways around it, the goal is to create natural stopping points that make it easier for families to have healthy screen time conversations. Most children will accept the break when it's presented as a normal part of watching.

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're parents too, and we wanted to solve this problem for our own families.

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.

The current version uses a fixed 15-minute break, which research suggests is optimal for eye rest and mental breaks. We're considering adding customization options in future updates based on user feedback.

Right now, we support Netflix. We're actively working on adding support for Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube. Sign up for updates to be notified when new platforms are added.
