Silence isn't the problem.Being unreachable is.
Do Not Disturb is all-or-nothing
So you leave it off, and 90 group chats have the same access as your kid's school.
Blockers punish you for looking
Trees die, streaks break, guilt piles up — and you still uninstall the app by Thursday.
Every app thinks it's urgent
A delivery update, a like and a genuine emergency all arrive with the same buzz.
Focus needs willpower you don't have spare
Starting a focus session is itself a task. PageMe starts it for you, on schedule.
Features
Everything you need to be hard to reach — on purpose
Six pieces that turn an endless notification stream into something with an edge, an order and an end.
Sender groups that decide urgency
Drag contacts into VIP, Work, Later or Never. Each group gets its own alert style and delivery window, so your phone reacts to who is asking, not to which app is loudest.
Scheduled takeovers
Focus starts itself. Link takeovers to your calendar, a time block, a location or a headphone connection — PageMe holds the noise and hands it back when you're done.
Break-through rules
Say it once: two messages in five minutes, the word "urgent", or anyone in your VIP group. Genuine emergencies always reach you — everything else waits its turn.
Designed for ADHD brains
Batched delivery instead of drip-fed dopamine, one-screen decisions, zero-shame recovery when you fall off. Built with neurodivergent testers from the first prototype.
Weekly focus recap
See how many interruptions were held, which senders take the most attention, and how long your longest uninterrupted stretch was. Numbers, not lectures.
How it works
Three minutes to set up. Then it runs itself.
- 01
Rank the people who matter
Import your contacts and sort them once into a few groups. Most people finish in under three minutes.
- 02
Set your takeover windows
Pick when focus should switch on by itself — deep work mornings, school pickup, dinner, or every calendar event tagged Focus.
- 03
Get paged, not buried
During a takeover only your priority senders ring through. Everything else arrives as a tidy pager digest when you're ready for it.
Built for ADHD & neurodivergent focus
A focus tool that doesn't rely on willpower
Most focus apps assume the hard part is choosing to start. For ADHD brains, that's exactly the part that breaks. PageMe automates the start, removes the infinite surface to scroll, and makes coming back cost nothing.
- Automatic takeovers — no daily decision to make
- A finite inbox with a countable number, never a feed
- One-tap re-entry: no streaks to break, no shame screens
- Reduced-motion, high-contrast and screen-reader friendly
- Time-blind friendly: every held page shows when it arrived

Early testers
What the beta group says
“I used to put my phone in a drawer and then panic that the school had called. Now the school is a VIP and everything else can wait until lunch.”
“Blockers never worked for me — I'd just disable them. A takeover that starts itself and hands me nine pages at noon is the first thing that stuck.”
“My team knows the two words that page me instantly. Everyone else gets a digest. Meetings dropped, and nobody feels ignored.”

FAQ
Questions people page us about
No. Priority senders bypass every focus block, and any contact who messages twice within five minutes triggers a break-through page. You decide both rules — PageMe never silences someone you marked as essential.
SMS and WhatsApp at launch, plus selected app notifications you choose (calendar, banking, delivery, on-call tools). Everything else is bundled into a quiet digest you read on your schedule.
Blockers hide everything and hope you cope. PageMe keeps you reachable: messages still arrive, they just queue in a pager inbox sorted by who sent them, so you can stay off your phone without going off the grid.
Because the design targets the parts that actually hurt: no infinite scroll, one screen with a finite count, batched delivery instead of drip-fed dopamine, and automation that starts focus for you rather than relying on willpower.
Routing happens on your device. PageMe stores sender rules and schedules — message content is never uploaded to our servers or used to train anything.
The core pager inbox is free forever. Premium is $4.99/month or $39.99/year and unlocks scheduled takeovers, unlimited sender groups, break-through rules and weekly focus reports.
